Double your donation between midday 27-Nov to midday 4-Dec
For one week only this Christmas, we are giving our supporters an amazing opportunity to double their donations through the Big Give Christmas Challenge 2018!
Donate between 27th November and 4th December and all online donations will be DOUBLED!
Our target is to raise £3,000 from online donations in one week, and all donations will be doubled, bringing the total to £6,000 thanks to match funding from our major supporters – Childhood Trust, Mace and Environmental Cleaners’ Company.
In this Christmas Challenge, we are fundraising to pay for 200 disadvantaged children in London the chance to attend valuable weekly Youth Club sessions for a whole year.
At the weekly Youth Club sessions, children have the unique opportunity to learn and practice sailing, kayaking and windsurfing. They develop new skills, learn how to work in teams in a fun and constructive setting, and have something healthy and active to do after school.
Dominic, 9, goes to a local school, “I like coming to the Youth Club because I don’t get to do go kayaking and sailing anywhere else. I like instructors and people that come to the sailing centre.”
Being a Youth Club member is more than learning a new sport. They participate in activities that boosts confidence and self-esteem. They are placed in situations outside their comfort zone, learning to take risks, developing resilience and tenacity.
Ana, 11, has been attending Youth Club for three years, “I like coming here because it’s really fun, there are new people to meet and new things to learn.”
Youth Club Membership is more than just watersports. It’s a gift that lasts a lifetime. It gives them the opportunity to develop skills that offer better employment prospects, opening up a world of opportunities.
Ibrahim, 13, is home-schooled and he says, “Instructors are fun and interactive, and I love kayaking and sailing. Next year I get the chance to volunteer and help the instructors.”
Donate to our Big Give Christmas Challenge and you can help make a difference to a child’s life.
Here’s how your donation can help:
£30 will pay for 2 children to practice watersports for a whole year keeping them active and engaged in healthy activities
£60 will sponsor 4 children to attend Monday and Sunday Youth Club sessions for a whole year
£90 can provide 6 disadvantaged children the opportunity for life-changing experiences for sailing, kayaking and windsurfing courses for a whole year
£150 will sponsor 10 children in need the chance to learn new skills for a whole year, while setting them up for a better future
Please donate online and help us raise £6,000 by 4th December 2018. Donate now and double your donation!
