Great to launch the @BronteGirls @FirstGiveUK programme this afternoon with Year 7! Students were engaged and excited to get started.

Brilliant to be back at @EdgarWoodAc this morning to launch the @FirstGiveUK programme. Year 9 students were engaged and looking forward to connecting with local charities, ready to make an impact! #YoungChangemakers #PersonalDevelopment

Well Done to everyone involved in our @FirstGiveUK competition yesterday! Everyone worked really hard to raise money and spread awareness for their chosen charities. The Winning Group were R7 who won £1000 for @guidedogs

@RSHS_HighSchool your Y8 students were brilliantly engaged this morning for their @FirstGiveUK launch! We can't wait to see which charities they work with over the coming months.

Loved launching the @FirstGiveUK programme at @RastrickHigh this lunch time. Some very engaged young people about to get started! #YoungPeopleMakingADifference

Had the absolute pleasure of launching @FirstGiveUK at @springsacademy1 this morning. Students are already thinking proactively about how to use their skills to make a change. Can't wait to see how they carry those ideas forward! #YouthLed #Sheffield

It's not every day that students make bunting by hand in support of local charity, but @BGGSchool students did! Supporting Dad Matters, part of Home Start Kirklees, with bespoke bunting that also celebrates the humble "dad joke". Our last @FirstGiveUK Final 2024/25!

Yesterday I hosted the @LeedsWestWay Final, where Y7 students showed maturity beyond their years in their engagement with the @FirstGiveUK programme. One student said: "Because of First Give, we will speak louder, care more, and act with purpose" Couldn't say it better myself

It was a real pleasure to run the @FirstGiveUK Final at @edenboysbford yesterday. The students showed real care and compassion for making Bradford a better place to be. #YouthSocialAction

A fantastic First Give Finals at EBB. Huge congratulations to our winning group representing St Giles Trust_ incredible team work, passion and purpose. Every student made us proud. #FirstGive @FirstGiveACo SocialAction #Service

Huge well done to @DixonsNGA Y8 students who completed their @FirstGiveUK programme today, raising nearly £700 as a year group for local charities that matter to them!! So thrilled to have been there to celebrate with you today. Amazing 👏 #YouthSocialAction

Excited to work with @DixonsNGA students today for their @FirstGiveUK presentation skills workshop! #PersonalDevelopment #SocialAction

@Dixons_Co Yr8 students did a fabulous job exploring social issues such as homelessness, gang violence and mental health at their @FirstGiveUK Final today. Well done to class 8.4, supporting Unity in the Community, who delivered a passionate presentation, securing them the grant!

A bright start to a Wednesday, celebrating with @HinckleySchool Y9 students as their @FirstGiveUK programme concludes this year. Huge congratulations to them, and the National Youth Agency that they've supported this year! #YoungPeopleMakingADifference #PersonalDevelopment

It was brilliant working with @TaptonSchool1 students for their presentation skills workshop, where students were absolutely brilliant, sharing their tremendous commitment with local charities on the @FirstGiveUK core programme yesterday. Well done, Y8! #YouthSocialAction

Always lovely to visit @dixonsaa, which I did today as part of getting their Y12 students @FirstGiveUK Final ready. The students have been working hard to support local causes, and it's been great to see their efforts come together. Well done! #YouthSocialAction

Big WELL DONE to @DixonsMA students who took part in the @FirstGiveUK presentation skills workshop this morning. It's been a brilliant start to the day, hearing about all your hard work supporting local charities! #YouthSocialAction

It was great to see past year's @FirstGiveUK cohort at @AGGSchool this morning to offer them a chance to Step Up on our follow up programme! Can't wait to see what they do. #YouthSocialAction

Students at @BronteGirls were inquisitive and enthusiastic for the launch of their @FirstGiveUK programme this afternoon. Can't wait to see how they get on! #YoungPeopleMakingADifference #YouthSocialAction

It was an absolute delight to get @EdgarWoodAc students started on the @FirstGiveUK programme this morning via a remote assembly- a new one for me! Can't wait to see how the Year 9 students get on. #SocialChange #YouthSocialAction
