The Big Give - we did it! Thank you so much!

In just one week in December, our Big Give Campaign 'Safe, Heard and Hopeful' raised an incredible £20,000 for our Volunteer Mentoring Programme!

A special thank you from our CEO, Ruth Keily:

"We are deeply moved by the support from our local community. This comes at a time when the need for our work has never been greater, and we're truly grateful to everyone who donated. Your generosity means more young people struggling in school, at home or with mental wellbeing will immediately benefit from 1-1 mentoring, positive activities and family support.

On behalf of our trustees, staff and volunteers, a huge thank you to every individual, business, and group who donated or helped spread the word about our campaign. Special thanks to our longstanding supporter for being our Big Give Pledger, and to our Champion, ShareGift for making this possible."

The difference Big Give donations will make

The £20,000 raised through The Big Give will directly support our Volunteer Mentoring Programme, enabling us to reach more young people aged 7–25 in Bath & North East Somerset.

Thanks to the generosity of our local community, we can safeguard our Programme and extend our mentoring support to even more young people facing challenges with their wellbeing, at school, at home, or within their community.
