Learn
Students learn about social issues in their communities and choose which are important to them.
First Give supports an entire year group of secondary school students to engage in social action for their communities.
We work in partnership with secondary schools to inspire and equip young
people to take action to tackle social issues.
Over a series of 8 lessons students:
Students learn about social issues in their communities and choose which are important to them.
Students research charities working in their communities and as a class, choose one to represent
Each class meets their chosen charity so that students can learn more about their work and how to help them
Students plan and deliver social action activities (fundraising, awareness raising, volunteering) in support of their charities
Students learn public speaking skills and put together creative presentations about the work of their charity and what their class has done to support it
One group is chosen to represent each class at your school's First Give Final. Social action projects and presentations are judged by a panel of judges and one class wins a First Give grant of £1,000 for their charity.
*The full cost is £3,600 – we are delighted to be able to provide it at a highly subsidised rate thanks to the generosity of our funders
