Amal discusses the connections between our work at First Give and the values of today’s awareness day; the promotion of philanthropy and giving back to the community. Read below about how our First Give central team enjoyed engaging in community volunteering – a form of social action that we champion through the First Give programme!

The First Give social action programme inspires a whole secondary school year group to engage in social action. Not only does this youth social action have positive effects on the personal development of students, but it also creates a more cohesive community, linking schools with charities operating in their local area. We wanted to share some insights from Neil Davies, the Regional Fundraiser for South Wales at Shelter Cymru, a charity that is popular amongst many First Give students. Read below about Neil’s experience as a representative from a charity that First Give students chose to support during the programme and find out how to get the most out of the experience as a chosen class charity!
