Today we launch our Big Give Arts for Impact fundraising campaign – one donation, double the impact! Double your donation here

Between now and 12:00 on Tuesday 25th March 2025 any donation received will have double the impact on our our creative learning work in the UK, and the cultural opportunities available to young people

We are raising funds to ensure more children and young people in the UK can access creative opportunities. We work in deprived areas of Cambridge (the UK’s most unequal city) and rural Fenland with children experiencing serious financial and social barriers to accessing creative and cultural opportunities. These children were worst affected by the pandemic and now their families face a cost of living crisis – our teachers network reports that the challenges faced, both academically and emotionally for children, young people and their families continue to grow.

All funds raised will support us to continue to work with as many communities and schools as possible; improving access to creative opportunities and meaningful cultural activities for Children and young people who face poverty of opportunity.  Providing these creative learning opportunities to Children and Young People in their school and local communities, leads to improved resilience and mental health as we know that participation in activities promotes self-esteem and confidence. Teachers also report an increase in educational attainment across the curriculum. More on why we are fundraising is available here: https://youtu.be/zdQRvubb1rc

All donations received will help us continue this work, offering it for free to participants, and this week every single pound donated will have double the impact as the Big Give will double any donations we receive. Please help us continue to create playful stories that connect us all, by donating what you can this week and helping us spread the word:https://bit.ly/NIEBG25

Many thanks in advance for your help with this vital fundraising.
