We’re incredibly grateful for every contribution we receive – whether it’s a one-off donation or ongoing support through our newly launched Friends Scheme. Each plays a vital role in helping the Trust continue its mission.

Here’s how they differ, and why both are important:

🌟 One-Off Donations

  • Provide an immediate boost to our resources

  • Help us respond quickly to urgent needs or opportunities

  • Are perfect for those who want to support a specific area of work

🤝 Friends' Scheme

  • Provides consistent, predictable funding that helps us plan long-term

  • Builds a community of supporters with a shared vision

  • Reduces fundraising pressure, allowing us to focus more on our work with young people

We recognised that everyone has different reasons for giving and different preferences for how they support us - we are very grateful to you all!

Friends will receive an annual report of the activities of the Trust and those planned for the next year, as well as notificiations of activies supported by the scheme.

The suggested minimum donation for our Friends' Scheme is £30 per year however you are free to choose how much and how regularly you give.

One-off or regular giving as a Friend
