As a parent, watching your child excel in sports is a rewarding experience. But when they reach the rep level, the costs of travel, equipment, and training can become overwhelming. Digital fundraising offers a way for parents to support their child’s dreams while rallying the support of friends, family, and the wider community. RepRaiser is a digital fundraising platform designed to make it easy for families to raise the funds needed to help their child shine on the field, in the pool, or on the court.
Why Digital Fundraising is Perfect for Today’s Busy Families
When children reach the representative level in sports, they require more than just talent and dedication. They need the right resources and opportunities to compete and develop. As a parent, you want to support them in every way possible—but it can be difficult to find the time for traditional fundraising activities. Digital fundraising simplifies the process, allowing you to reach your goals more efficiently.
With digital fundraising through RepRaiser, families can set up campaigns, share their links, and connect with supporters quickly and easily. This approach allows parents to focus on what truly matters: supporting their child’s journey and celebrating their achievements.

Our Values
The main benefit of creating our social enterprise later in life (we are all founders in our forties), is we have both business and life experience. We strongly believe a healthy culture is based on a purposeful and practiced set of values. Our very first action was to create a meaningful set of values to guide every decision we make.
We recruit staff and key partners who share these principles and compliment our culture.
Show Kindness
Simple!……Kindness is expected! It starts with being kind to ourselves and the rest is duck soup.
Our Better Selves
Our own physical and emotional wellbeing is a priority. We are better able to benefit and enrich the lives of others, when we are our better selves.
Community
Strengthen and support one another. We are pleased to support volunteers who are making differences in their communities, and we are grateful for their support in return. We are all in this together!
Appreciate Our Differences
The key to ‘getting along’ is accepting we are, and will always be different from one another. In fact, we think these differences are to be embraced.
Own It!
Our lives are shaped by the choices we make. We can’t control everything, but we should be expected to take resposibilty for our own decisions.
Let’s Play!
The time we spend at work should be enjoyable, memorable, rewarding and motivating. Work hard at having fun!
