Over December, Khulisa took part in the Big Give Christmas Campaign. We’re so excited to announce that, thanks to the generosity of all who donated, we raised over £16,100, exceeding our target! A big thank you to everyone who helped us to raise this amount and who doubled their donation through the Big Give Christmas Challenge.
In just one week, we were able to raise £8000 from supporters who gave online, which was generously matched by The Childhood Trust and Charles Russell Speechlys Foundation. This enabled us to achieve twice the impact!
This campaign was our most successful campaign with the Big Give yet. We raised over £14,000 more than the last year we ran the campaign, and reached more donors than ever before. An amazing 54% of our total donors made their first donation to Khulisa, totalling £7,200 between them. Thank you so much to all of you!
This funding will help to support our work that we do, including:
- Our intensive programme ‘Face It’ for young people at risk of exclusion and offending. This is delivered over 6-8 weeks by trained professionals using group, 1:1 and arts therapy.
- Trauma-informed training and support for key adults in the young people’s lives.
- Influencing policy makers and practitioners on the value of being trauma-informed.
We’re so excited about the impact this will have on supporting our mission to help vulnerable young people overcome the effects of trauma and mental ill-health. This is even more vital given the difficult year many young people have had. With young people suffering a double-hit from Covid, both to their attainment and mental health, the support Khulisa provides is all the more important. For every pound raised 90p goes towards supporting the young people, teachers and parents we work with across London and Manchester.
