Support from charitable trusts and foundations has, and continues to make a significant contribution to our work in Shaftesbury Young People. A grant from a trust or foundation can be used to fund a particular project or the organisation as a whole and can be a one-off or ongoing donations. Trusts are an extremely valuable and important source of income and we would like to thank all previous and current funders for your support.
Current trust appeals include:
- Education Support Service
Our education service provides intensive one-on-one support to the most challenging young people at risk of or already excluded from school. This service has achieved outstanding results and continues to bring the best out of young people who were previously not even expected to enter their exams
Through the financial support of trusts and foundations we can provide week long outdoor education and activity breaks for disadvantaged and vulnerable children and young people in care or in need.
This innovative project aims to reunite and rebuild relationships between brothers and sisters who are separated due to care.
Many of the young people with whom we work need help with emotional and behaviour problems. Equine Therapy uses interaction with horses to teach young people to understand their behaviour and emotions and how their actions can be interpreted by others. This is a reflective and therapeutic activity which has clear and immediate results and benefits to our young people.
