Our impact
Our charities’ 2025 impact in numbers
We believe that all children and young people deserve to thrive. For hundreds of thousands of children, this is only possible with the support of small, specialist charities.
That’s why I feel very lucky to play a part in the extraordinary work that the Raise Your Hands charities are doing with young people across the UK.
And in 2025, we reached a milestone I’m very proud of: in the ten years since we were founded, we’ve directed more than £4 million to our charity portfolio. Every pound of that has been part of changing a young life.
Raise Your Hands are a champion. Their reliable, unrestricted funding has been massive for us. They’ve enabled us to invest in the future and helped us successfully grow from a small to a medium sized charity.
Become (Partner Charity)
Working with Raise Your Hands has been more than just funding; it’s felt like a genuine partnership. They take the time to understand what we do, amplify our voice, and check in like we’re people, not just projects. That kind of support matters more than most people realise. It’s helped us feel seen and valued, which makes a real difference when you’re doing this work day in, day out.
BelEve (Partner Charity)
Raise Your Hands has been more than a funder – they’ve been a sounding board, an advocate, and a real force for connection. Their belief in our work has helped us reach new audiences and feel part of a wider movement of change. It’s rare to find a partner who is this committed to championing small, specialist charities.
Our Time (Partner Charity)
Since the beginning of our partnership, Raise Your Hands has provided us with consistent and invaluable support, totalling over £200,000. Without support like this we would not have been able to sustain as many projects and help over 18,500 children over the past ten years.
