Create lasting impact

Major gifts allow us to plan ahead for the future with greater confidence – That’s imperative for charities like ours more than ever before. It makes a massive difference when it comes to expanding our award-winning mentoring programme into more schools, colleges and communities, supporting greater numbers of young people across the United Kingdom as part of an exciting Movement for Change.

Tailored to you

Our team will work with you to align your gift with an area of our work that means the most to you — whether that’s expanding our programme to new communities,  reaching greater numbers of young people, training mentors, or co-developing resources that help to build confidence, spark potential and awaken ambition. You may also have a completely new idea that we’d love to discuss further.

Be part of the journey

We’ll keep you closely updated with the impact your generosity, and offer opportunities to see our work in action. We have a new bold, vibrant strategic vision. You will be at the heart of co-developing many exciting pieces of work aiming to ensure we co-develop innovations that ensure every young person has someone to help find a path to a brighter future.

You have a massive role to play

As a valued major donor, you’ll enjoy a uniquely personal relationship with our team. From CEO thank-you calls and handwritten notes, to bespoke impact reports and exclusive updates, we’ll ensure you see and feel the difference your generosity makes. You’ll be invited to special events and behind-the-scenes conversations with our leadership, mentors, and young people. Above all, you’ll know that your gift is directly transforming lives and leaving a legacy of hope for generations to come.
