First Give Charity Scheme

First Give Charity Programme - Year 10

We are part of the First Give programme which is designed to ignite a spark of social conscience in young people. From January 2025, Year 10 students will in their tutor groups work with a Charity Lead from First GIve and follow a 16 week programme which includes the following activities and learning points:

Students learn about social issues in their communities and choose the issues which are important to them.
Students research charities working in their communities and as a class, choose one to represent.
Charities are invited in to meet the class, so that students can learn more about their work and how to help them.
Students plan and deliver social action activities (fundraising, awareness raising, volunteering) in support of their charities.
Students learn public speaking skills and put together creative presentations about the work of their charity and what their class has done to support it.
One group is chosen to represent each class at your school’s First Give Final. A panel of judges rate each class based on their social action and presentations. The winning class wins a First Give grant of £1,000 for their charity.
