We’re thrilled to share that our Big Give Christmas Challenge was a big success!
Together, our supporters raised over £21,000, including matched funding from Reed Educational Trust and Gift Aid.
This incredible total means we can bring our new FutureYOU schools programme to nearly 200 more pupils, giving them the confidence, skills and insights they need to make informed decisions about their futures.
A huge thank you to our supporters
We’re deeply grateful to everyone who donated, shared the campaign, or championed our work. Your generosity will help us:
- Deliver practical careers workshops in schools in deprived areas
- Connect pupils with employers and professionals, giving them an idea of possible career paths
- Build confidence among young people who often lack access to guidance and networks
- Expand our reach to schools where opportunities remain limited
Thanks to you, more young people will have the chance to explore new possibilities and take their next steps, equipped with the language to describe their futures.
Why this matters
Right now, pupils in state education face growing uncertainty about the paths available to them. Many don’t feel they understand what employers are looking for, and too often, disadvantage limits their options before they’ve even begun.
With FutureYOU we aim to change that, by offering real-world insights, practical guidance, and meaningful encounters that open doors and build confidence.
Your support means we can reach many more young people who deserve every opportunity to thrive.
Looking ahead
This year’s Big Give success sets a strong foundation for our work in 2026. Thank you for being part of this achievement!
