First Give is all about inspiring others to give. That's why we've decided that for our upcoming Summer Team Day, we're going to set ourselves a challenge and live our values through a sponsored walk!

Through the First Give programme, a full year group of students researches and connects with charities that they care about. They complete social action in support of those charities (fundraising or awareness raising) and then they compete to win a First Give grant of £1,000 for their chosen charity.

This year Lives Not Knives was the most popular charity, winning 5 of the 191 grants available across the network. Inspired by the young people who completed First Give this year, we are going to walk from London Bridge to Croydon where the Lives Not Knives team are based to raise more money to support their vital work!

Go on - drop us a donation - we're counting on your generosity!

p.s. this is all very last minute as we had originally booked to attend a volunteering day with another charity who unfortunately had to cancel - how much can we raise in less than a week!?
