MAKE A DIFFERENCE
We are so grateful to funders, individual donors and an incredible personal support network who enable our work. There is a real and growing need for what we seek to offer—practical skills, renewed confidence, and pathways into employment in a time of skills shortage. By financially supporting, you can help make this work possible—enabling both practical transformation and opportunities for long-term impact.
Donate While You Shop
We are registered with easyfundraising which means you can raise donations for us while you shop at no extra cost to yourself! Easyfundraising is a free way to raise money for a cause you care about while you shop online. When you shop with over 8,000 retailers through easyfundraising, they'll donate to your chosen cause. You pay exactly the same price as you normally would, and your cause receives free donations from your everyday shopping. It’s super easy and has been such a help to us!
Long-Term
Working with like-minded organisations is important to us and we are so grateful to receive donations in kind of tools, materials, PPE and even snacks! We’re delighted to have referred individuals to other employers for work, training and volunteering positions. If you’re part of an organisation which is keen to see people working meaningfully in a capacity that is right for them, please get in touch to discuss how you get involved.
Mentoring
Could you offer some of your time to an individual who needs a positive role-model in life? It’s nothing scarier than a cup of coffee and a chat and we can provide all the support you need, including the coffee! We’d love to hear from you and for you to see the difference an hour a week could make to someone.
Volunteering
We are always keen to hear from those who have time and want to use their skills and experience to help others. Volunteering could mean coming along to the workshop to leading a skills session on a particular practical technique, helping with fundraisers or events or offering your skills with social media, photography, administrative needs or other support. Please get in touch to discuss possibilities.
“I’m happy to help out with Forge & Equip events and give a donation each month. It’s such a joy to see the people they work with being transformed.”
- Rachel, Regular financial supporter
