#NeverMoreNeeded

For the last 5 weeks DSC have been desperately campaigning for adequate support for charities affected by the COVID-19 pandemic. Working with others across the sector, we’ve been pushing government relentlessly for a £4.3bn stabilisation fund to ensure the millions of people whose lives are enriched, made easier, and saved by charities, are still around to help them when this crisis abates. Many of you wrote to your MPs and shared your stories.

Tonight, whilst the eyes of the nation are fixed on Big Night In, we want you to share and showcase the difference your charity makes to your beneficiaries and communities, share pictures and stories across social media using the hashtag #NeverMoreNeeded and help us to show the world the difference that you’re making.

The Childhood Trust

The Childhood Trust is launching its £2.5m Champions for Children fund to support vulnerable children and young people across London affected by Coronavirus. Charities can now sign up for this match-funding campaign to raise unrestricted funds. Charities recruit pledgers from their own network, and then raise funds during an online campaign taking place between 23 and 30 June. Their pledgers and The Childhood Trust will then match what’s raised; so if a charity raises £30,000, they will receive a further £30,000 (£15,000 from their pledgers; £15,000 from The Childhood Trust) at the end of campaign. For further details on how the campaign will work and to sign up, click here.

Could you Volunteer Some time to Help a Young Person?

As you can imagine, with schools closed, Spark! has cancelled all work experience and employability events until further notice for the safety of our students, work experience hosts and volunteers – we know thousands of young people will miss out! However, it’s not all sad news, the team are creating some virtual activities and we need your help to get it going.

We are currently looking at supporting young people’s careers education virtually. Would you or a colleague be willing to volunteer and help a young person achieve their ambitions? This may include conducting a virtual mock interview or mentoring a young person.

If so, please email us to volunteer <mailto:info@sparklondon.org?subject=Virtual%20volunteering>  and pass our details on to colleagues looking for volunteering opportunities, or if you’d like to have a chat please call to find out more on 07852470177.
