About the foundation

Working together to help others

We live in a hectic society, where it’s easy to forget others in need, however by coming together as a business and community we can always try to give back where we can.

The Friday Media Group Foundation was established in 2015, after celebrating our anniversary of 40 years in business. We are a registered charity, able to support a host of worthwhile causes in the name of good business and good corporate citizenship.

Through this Foundation, we believe the combined efforts of our staff, business partners and customers will drive our capabilities to raise essential funds for charities and as well as drive much-needed publicity for a host of worthwhile causes, which will in turn make people’s lives better. We are particularly interested in projects that align with our new aim of supporting and empowering young people through fitness or sport.

By putting our resources, knowledge and skills to good use, we can raise essential funds for the benefit of those in need, and have a lot of fun along the way!

Friday Media Group will cover the overheads of the Foundation meaning that 100% of all donations and funds raised will go directly to support those in most need.

FMG Project

The Foundation’s first major continuous programme and FLAGSHIP PROJECT was conceived in 2020. From the outset in 2015, we decided that we needed a major project that was associated with the Foundation that would allow us to support, develop and empower individuals through connection, involvement and continuous focus. In order to do this the flagship project would need a property, a base from which to operate out of.

We took time to identify the right location because it needed to be a fit and we needed to build funds to afford it. We settled on a venue known as The Basement in Brighton, which has now become the home of the FMG Project. The space has been transformed into a gym and community hub, where we run our own programmes and rent the space out to other groups, charities and businesses. We know the power of sport and fitness and how it can change lives, so our aim is to provide opportunities for local young people to learn, grow and achieve through fitness-based coaching programmes in our state-of-the-art gym facility.
