Had the absolute pleasure of launching @FirstGiveUK at @springsacademy1 this morning. Students are already thinking proactively about how to use their skills to make a change. Can't wait to see how they carry those ideas forward! #YouthLed #Sheffield

It's not every day that students make bunting by hand in support of local charity, but @BGGSchool students did! Supporting Dad Matters, part of Home Start Kirklees, with bespoke bunting that also celebrates the humble "dad joke". Our last @FirstGiveUK Final 2024/25!

Yesterday I hosted the @LeedsWestWay Final, where Y7 students showed maturity beyond their years in their engagement with the @FirstGiveUK programme.

One student said: "Because of First Give, we will speak louder, care more, and act with purpose"

Couldn't say it better myself
