I want to smash a massive milestone and raise £1500 for Become, so that we've raised £4k total for children in care & care leavers in the past 1.5 years.

We've already raised £2500 in the last year, which is phenomenal, and I'd love to take it one step further and smash another milestone for Become!

To do this, we're going all out. Our Tier 2 campaign in September & October is supporting Become! And from 15th-17th October, we're doing a huge charity fundraising weekend dedicated to Become!

More details below! I know it's long, but it's worth the read I promise!

About Become

Become is the national charity for children in care and young care leavers. Their mission is to help care-experienced young people to believe in themselves and to heal, grow and unleash their potential. They work alongside them to make the care system the best it can be.

This campaign is fundraising for Become's Care Advice Line, a helpline offering confidential support to care-experienced young people. Every donation will help make sure there's someone at the end of the phone when a young care-experienced person calls Become for help. You can find out more about the helpline & the rest of Become's vital work at www.becomecharity.org.uk

Why we love Become

Become is a charity that I am incredibly passionate about - both for the work they do and the impact that the charity has had on my own life!

I'm not care-experienced myself, but being estranged from my family I can empathise with the huge anxieties that come with being dropped out of the care system when you're 16 and facing life on your own. Especially during the current pandemic, many young people will be feeling incredibly anxious, isolated, and in need of support. I've worked alongside Become across the years during my campaigning for estranged students, and love to dedicate time to help them support the care-experienced community!

Even though I've not used their services myself, Become has had a huge, positive impact on my personal life. My streaming journey started back in May 2020, when I decided to play a Minecraft Adventure Map with Steven for the very first Become Players event and wanted our friends to watch! Become is the reason that I first went live - without them, I'd never have had the chance to grow this phenomenal community, have fun times, take on so many exciting opportunities, or have met my amazing friends. Very uwu about Become!

What We're Doing!
