Donate

Thank you for considering making a donation to Khulisa at this crucial time for young people’s mental health. You can make a donation in a number of ways, but this week especially, we’d love you to consider a donation online through the Big Give Christmas Challenge.

All donations made through our Big Give Challenge will be matched pound for pound by our champion funders, The Reed Foundation and Charles Russell Speechlys Foundation. With their support we will be able to match fund all donations between 28th November and 5th December, meaning your money can support twice as many young people.

Your donation will help young people like Abbas who was struggling to settle into a new school, and was isolated and alone.

I’m Abbas and I'm 15 years old. I have just arrived in the UK, on my own. I was very nervous at the beginning because I’d never experienced school before.

In the mask making session I named my mask the “sadness mask” because I was feeling “lonely, silent and worn down”. I want to tell my mask to “go away and fight it”. I shared the story behind my mask and told people in the group how I was feeling. Everyone was really positive and helped me to share!

I wanted to encourage other students in the class when it was their turn to share, so I told them “you can do this, you can do it”

I loved the Khulisa programme. I made friends through the group and we met up on the weekend to play football and go to the funfair, something I’ve never done before.

Donations will go towards supporting more vulnerable young people like Abbas, who, without therapeutic support offered by Khulisa, are at risk of serious ill mental health, social exclusion and a continued cycle of trauma.

Your contribution can make all the difference in transforming the lives of some of the UK’s most vulnerable young people!

Khulisa exists thanks to the generous support and donations we receive from our partners and supporters: 100% of our income is fundraised or earned by delivering services in prisons and the community.

For every pound we spend; 

  • 90p is spent preventing children from experiencing school exclusion or entering the prison system and goes towards our programmes, training, policy and influencing work. 
  • 9p goes towards raising funds for our work and building a financial sustainability organisation
  • 1p goes towards our governance and making sure we fulfil our legal obligations. 
Thank you for your support of Khulisa - we and all the young people, parents and teachers we work with value it so much.
