@HABermondsey what a Brilliant and Lively #Final! Everyone done an amazing job with their public speaking & showcasing their social action! Judging was incredibly tough @IsaacFirstGive! A Huge congratulations to 9A for winning a £1000 grant for @xlplondon !! @JPFoundation
Smashing range of presentation deliveries today at @ArkElvinAcademy ‘s @FirstGiveUK final! Our colleagues at @JPFoundation were so impressed, especially with the rap written on behalf of @alzheimerssoc and a thought provoking interview with an affected student for @DeafHealth 🌟
Just love this. The pilot of the new First Give One Day programme is proving to be HUGE fun and really impactful for students, schools and charities. Thank you to @JohnLyonsCharity for supporting the pilot this year!
Wow! What a brilliant first ever @FirstGiveUK#final@ElthorneHighSch - the Year 9 students blew us away with incredible social action including a documentary and a disco! The winning group won £1000 for @HFEHMind! @JPFoundation
Had such a good time delivering the @FirstGiveUK final at @EastburySchool yesterday. Thank you @IsaacFirstGive & Gema for being on the judging panel. The students were all amazing & carried out such creative #socialaction! Well done to the winning class representing @futureyz 🤩
Presenters in our @FirstGive final, today, displayed fantastic confidence and teamwork as they addressed social issues and sought charitable solutions to problems besetting the community. #WeAreSTAR#Teamwork#Ambition
Back at @EastburySchool this afternoon for their @FirstGiveUK Final. It's been a couple of years since I was last here, but I'm thrilled to see this up in reception! @JPFoundation
I love this. A year on from winning a grant through the @FirstGiveUK programme, students standing up and inspiring their peers from the year below! The best advocates!
Well done to Year 9 at @LamptonSch who have made a fantastic start to their @FirstGiveUK programme this year! It was wonderful to hear that last year's winners spoke at the launch assembly and gave their advice on planning effective #socialaction@JPFoundation
Thank you to all our funding partners, the teachers and school partners, young people and community judges who have made the last year possible! #thankyou#Impact
Putting together the Impact Report for 23/24 has been amazing. It's tough to select the stories to include & I've been particularly reflecting on how many more stories there must be out there that we don't get to hear.
Enjoy reading about the last year of impact @FirstGiveUK!
We are delighted to celebrate our achievements in our 2024 Impact Report. Thank you to everyone who helped us to work with so many amazing young people this year 🎉. Read more here 👇

This #InternationalVolunteeringDay, we want to reflect on the volunteering days that our team are given to pursue opportunities to give back in their own way. We loved @AmyFirstGive 's story about her volunteering back in October:

Discover how students @BronteGirls increased their empathy and compassion through social action, and showed that "they are beacons of change in their community".
How brilliant to see a student from @officialRPHS receive a special award as a STAR SUPPORTER of @Jigsaw4u as a result of his and his class's efforts on the @FirstGiveUK programme last academic year. Thank you @Jigsaw4u for recognising and celebrating his achievements!
I'm constantly inspired by the action that students take to support the causes they care about. Turns out...so is @FirstGiveSophie who has been inspired to get out there and raise money for @RASASC_London

I really do love this moment in our year - what an amazing group of people our facilitator team are! So enthusiastic, positive and committed to supporting young people across the UK. Thank you @FirstGiveGK and @AmyFirstGive for your work putting the two days of training together!
One of the highlights of the year for us is getting all of our freelance facilitators together for training. An inspirational bunch, they are! And this year it was an extra treat to get incredible inclusivity training from the team at Angel Shed Theatre. Thank you @JPFoundation
