LTSB’s Christmas Wish List: Give the Gift of Opportunity

LTSB is on a mission to empower young people facing significant barriers to employment success – whether due to financial hardship, lack of opportunities, or other challenges. Through our professional training programmes, we provide crucial support, including mentorship, skills training, and work experience, to help these young individuals unlock their full potential and secure a career equal to their talent and ambition.

But we can’t do this alone. Your generosity will enable us to offer life-changing opportunities that build confidence, improve employability, and ultimately change lives. By supporting LTSB, you’re not just donating to a charity, you’re helping to create pathways for young people to thrive, achieve their dreams, and make a lasting impact in their communities.

LTSB provided me with all the support, training and opportunity to get my foot through the door and kick start my career in finance. Their guidance was amazing and tailored to help me develop me as an individual. I am happy I did a programme with LTSB as they have made a positive difference in my life and career!

This Christmas, please consider giving the gift of opportunity. Your donation, no matter the size, will directly empower the next generation to unlock their full potential and build a brighter future.

Let’s spread some festive cheer while making a real difference in the lives of young people!

We have 3 wishes and 3 ways to get involved!

Donate a mince pie and mulled wine

Love a mince pie and mulled wine? Why not donate the cost of your festive treats to LTSB? A donation of £10 could fund a Christmas meal for one of our young people, bringing a little extra joy to their holiday season.

Got the best (or ugliest!) Christmas jumper? Why not enter our LTSB Christmas Jumper competition, judged by our very own Youth Voice – LTSB alumni who have been through our programmes! For a suggested donation of just £5 per entry, you can send us a photo of your festive jumper by the 17th December and let the fun begin!

Send a motivational message

Want to inspire a young person with a motivational message or career tip? For a suggested donation of just £3, you can send a message or short 30 second video clip to encourage our young people. Your words of support could make all the difference.

To take part, please send your photos, tips or video clips to Rosa@ltsb.charity

How to donate?

Once you’ve selected the wish or wishes you’d like to support, simply head over to our JustGiving page to make your donation.

What can your donation do for a young person this Christmas?

🎄 £10 could fund a Christmas meal for a young person at a Christmas get together, helping them feel valued and part of the festive celebrations.

🎄 £5 could go towards buying smart clothing for a young person attending a job interview, giving them the confidence to make a great first impression.

🎄 £3 could cover the cost of travel for a young person to attend one of our life-changing training programmes, opening doors to new opportunities.

Thank you!

At LTSB, we are deeply grateful for every donation, no matter the size. Your generosity makes a direct impact on the lives of young people, and we truly appreciate your support. If you feel inspired to give more than the cost of one of our wishes, please know that any additional contribution will go even further in helping us create lasting change.

Thank you for making a difference this Christmas!
