The partnership aims to generate 250,000 over the next three years through the Zurich Advice Network Foundation's Kids 2 Care 4 programme for disadvantaged children and young people. This follows an earlier donation of 100,000, which will help Weston Spirit secure a new centre of excellence in Leeds.
The expansion is part of Weston Spirit's plan to have 21 centres to help socially excluded young people nationwide by 2007. It currently has eight and a head office in Liverpool.
Simon Weston, co-founder of Weston Spirit, said: "It's vital that we continue to believe and invest in our young people. Support from organisations such as Zurich enables us to do just that, allowing us to continue to make a real and long-lasting impact on so many young lives."
