In March, we are taking part in the Big Give Arts for Impact campaign!

By supporting our appeal, you will help us expand our Craft & Making club to provide free extracurricular activities for up to 75 children.

Best of all! Through the Big Give, donations made between 12 noon Tuesday 17 March and 12 noon Tuesday 24 March will be doubled!

We are aiming to raise £4,800 meaning we could raise £9,600 in total. This money will be used to run an extension of our popular and free Saturday Craft & Making club, allowing us to provide 75 young people with a programme of crafting and making activities. The young people will work with local artists, makers and industry professionals to explore their creative skills, develop greater wellbeing and discover possible creative careers.

The Big Give brings together philanthropists, foundations and businesses, with the giving public and the charities who need them. The Arts for Impact campaign is a seven-day online campaign in March, supporting arts and culture charities working to achieve societal impact across the UK.

What your donations could do

• A donation of £25 (doubled to £50) could help us buy materials for two craft and making sessions.
• A gift of £100 (doubled to £200) would connect the young people with a local maker, allowing 15 young people to learn a new creative skill.
• A donation of £500 (doubled to £1000) would help us provide three making sessions, giving 15 young people the opportunity to complete a mini craft project

If we exceed our target, any money raised above this target will be used to help us extend the project into next year. If we don’t reach the target, donations made will still be doubled! So, every donation really does make a difference.

To be eligible for match funding, all donations to this appeal must be made between 12 noon Tuesday 17 March and 12 noon Tuesday 24 March, via the Big Give online platform. Donations received in person or via our own website are always gratefully received, though unfortunately would be ineligible for the match.
