“We’re proud to have grown this initiative from supporting just three charities in its first year to twelve today, and in 2026 we’re looking forward to partnering with charities that make a real difference to people at every stage of life.” (Andrea Smith, Equity Partner at Franklins)

What is the Franklins £50 Challenge?

It is a local initiative that sees teams across Milton Keynes, Northampton and the surrounding areas competing against each other to raise as much money as possible for one of our local charity partners. Franklins Solicitors LLP will give your team £50 and three months to find ways of increasing it as much as much as possible. As the tagline says, Start Small. Grow Big. Make a Difference. It’s time to get your entrepreneurial thinking hats on!

GET INVOLVED

What’s next …

  • Form your team and select us as your charity on the Franklins 50 website
  • Your team will be given £50
  • Increase it as much as you can (whilst staying safe and legal!) within 3 months (23 February – 29 May)

Good luck to everyone taking part and thank you in advance for supporting Spinal Injuries Association!
