Fundraise — support our charity and inspire young lives

Each year, we support more than 300 young people across Bath & North East Somerset, helping them to feel safe, heard and hopeful for their future.

As a small independent charity, we rely on the incredible support of our local community. By fundraising for us, you'll help sustain our 1:1 mentoring schemes, activity programmes and weekly youth clubs, making a meaningful, lasting difference in the lives of young people and your community.

How your fundraising will make a difference

Cake baked by a young person
£50 — 1 month of mentoring

Our volunteer mentors are kind, trusted adults who listen without judgement and provide a safe weekly space for young people to be themselves. £50 will fund a whole month of 1:1 mentoring.

£100 — 1 new cohort of volunteer mentors

All volunteer mentors receive comprehensive training to ensure both they and their mentees have a safe and positive experience. £100 will cover the direct cost of training a new cohort of volunteer mentors.

£200 — 1 month of practitioner support

By listening and building trust, our practitioners join up support around every mentee, ensuring those around them hear their voice and understand their needs. £200 will fund a whole month of this vital support.

£650 — 6 months of holiday activities

Primary mentees are invited to join us for special holiday outings when mentoring is paused. Each day out is a valuable space where mentees can connect and feel supported. £650 will fund outings for half the year.

Fundraising inspiration

We host a range of fundraising events and opportunities throughout the year, from the Bath Half and the Big BaNES 100k to our Quiz Night and Jumble Sale. We have something for everyone.
