Welcome to Verity’s Gift
We’re excited to have launched Verity’s Gift in 2018, in memory of my beautiful wife, Verity.
We are a charity that is dedicated to supporting our community with a particular passion to helping young adults and children. We are so pleased to have achieved a fundraising goal of raising £100,000 to refurbish the children’s play area in Emsworth Park; achieved within a year!
As a lasting legacy to Verity’s short but very much accomplished life, our vision is for all children and young people within our community to have the facilities and support they need to enhance their physical and mental well-being to cope with all life’s challenges.

Please support us on the 2025 Three Peaks Challenge
30th May to 1st June 2025
On May 30th, 16 volunteers will leave Emsworth on a 1300-mile round trip to undertake the immense task of the National Three Peaks Challenge in support of Verity’s Gift.
Help us raise money so we can help more young people overcome trauma. Support our 2025 Three Peaks Challenge! This is one of the most demanding trek challenges in the UK and involves climbing the three highest mountains in Scotland, England and Wales. (Ben Nevis, Scafell Pike and Snowdon.)
Our team of 16 Three Peakers up for the challenge and currently in training.

Some of our previous fund raising events.
Book Nook
Verity’s Gift replaced the current telephone box in Emsworth square with an original Red Box. The Book Nook is now serving the community as a free book swap. Not only does it look fab and enhance Emsworth Square, but it keeps the books nice and dry. Thank you to the local community for all your support, along with Naked Pantry and Oyster Design.
Our Mission
To make this vision a reality, our mission is to help young people access first class physical and mental wellbeing allowing them to flourish in life.
Our Strategy
Our strategy will be to fund the areas that will enable us to have the greatest possible impact on the lives of those we support. We will focus on diversifying and growing our income, as it is only through the generosity of our supporters that we will be able to realise our vision.
Our Future Plans Include:
Ongoing Bereavement Counselling and Support for Young People
Refurbishing the Basketball Court at Emsworth Park
Installing a Trim Trail around Emsworth Park
Continuing our Food and Household Goods Drops

Verity was a very generous and giving person and was much loved by many. Even in death, Verity helped save three lives by donating her organs. Verity’s Gift is a way of honouring her memory and carrying on her generous legacy.
A heartfelt thank you to everyone who has helped us raise money for Verity’s Gift.
We are looking forward to delivering some amazing results to support the mental and physical wellbeing of many children in our local area.
