Student Success Story
Stand out social action from 2022/2023!
First Give is a social action programme which runs in secondary schools throughout England and Wales. Students across a year group will choose a local charity to support, carry out social action in support of that charity and then create presentations to detail the work of their charity and the social action they carried out, ultimately competing to win a £1000 grant for their chosen charity. Read about some of the amazing social action taken by students in the past academic year below!

First Give inspires young leaders at John F Kennedy Catholic School
John F Kennedy School ran First Give for the first time and had an exceptionally successful programme! The students were fully engaged in social action, and the teachers saw real improvement in the behaviors of students that usually had struggled with school engagement. Additionally, their Final had a wonderful judging panel and attendance of charity representatives in the audience. We are looking forward to a longstanding partnership with JFK and can’t wait to see what the students come up with next year!
