Absolutely WONDERFUL to see a student from @officialRPHS at the AGM for Jigsaw4U, due to their work raising money and awareness for the charity on the @FirstGiveUK programme. We're proud of how the programme brings together charities, schools and individuals in a genuine way.

[Jigsaw4u @Jigsaw4u]

Thank you to everyone who have helped make this year our most impactful yet for our children, young people and families.

And a massive well done to the Stars of 2024 🧩🌟

📢 Charities, we need your help! 📢Get in touch to be involved in our new One Day programme, where students donate to your charity through donation stalls. We're looking for charities addressing: mental health; UK poverty relief; climate change/environment; equal opps. Thank you

[Georgia Bennett @GeoFirstGive]

they're often the ones involved, but also desperately want to see it stop. This year, LNK won five times, receiving £5,000 from First Give for their amazing work. This doesn't count how many classes have chosen to support them but not quite won the First Give Grant. @LNKcharity

🔪 40,000 knife crime offences were committed in the UK in 2018... a number that keeps rising. 67 were fatal in 2019. 🔪

First Give are doing a team 16km walk from London Bridge to the LNK head office in Croydon.

Please donate to a very worthy cause: https://t.co/3viwh1pw53

Lives Not Knives works with high risk young people to prevent gang crime and violence.

Year on year, gang violence/knife crime is one of the top 3 social issues the young people we work with choose to tackle (all over the UK). It's an issue that means a lot to young people...

@CharterSe16 @FirstGiveUK Thank you @CharterSe16 for yet another brilliant programme! We can't wait to impact another year of students next academic year.

@AmalFirstGive and I are excited to be in Harrow for the #firstgivefinal at @TSHLC! We've got 5 presentations to see, but who will come away with the £1,000 First Give grant?!

[Georgia Bennett @GeoFirstGive]

@BronteGirls @FirstGiveUK Love this! Thanks so much @guidedogs for taking the time to visit the students at Bronte Girls 🐶

It was fab to host the Programmes Team Day yesterday, where we focused on looking at programme and resource updates for 24/25. As always, we did this by combining our insights from valuable conversations with teachers, as well as the teacher feedback form finished programmes.

[First Give @FirstGiveUK]

Here's the team looking ✨DELIGHTFUL✨ as we gathered yesterday for the Programmes team to work on things we can do to improve the programme and the support we offer teachers! SO nice to see everyone together 👋👋👋 #Team

[Rhiannon Youssef @NonFirstGive]

[Georgia Bennett @GeoFirstGive]

This groups' presentation was fantastic last night! Also, great to hear they met a representative from the charity, thank you @SaferLondon1 for supporting these young people to support you 👏

[Ark Acton Academy @ArkActonAcademy]

As part of the @FirstGiveUK Project, Y9s hosted a bake sale to raise money for their chosen charity @SaferLondon1 . This empowered them to take positive action for a cause they care about and ignited a spark of social conscience #arkactonacademy, #westlondon, #londonschools

[Georgia Bennett @GeoFirstGive]

Christmas time at @ArkActonAcademy 🎄. Here we go for their #firstgivefinal! We're very lucky to be joined by the Mayor of Ealing tonight @Hitesh_T, and he'll be helping decide who wins the £1,000 @FirstGiveUK grant! 🤩

[Georgia Bennett @GeoFirstGive]

Today I'm with @FirstGiveSophie to deliver the @FirstGiveUK presentation skills workshop with the @Saint_Gabriels year 7s. I'm looking forward to seeing what social issues matter to these students 💭

[Louisa M Searle @LouisaMSearle]

This is such a huge opportunity for us - please do consider donating. If we reach our target, over 1,000 students will benefit from the First Give programme!
