Every £1 Doubled This December – Help Young Lives Thrive
December is just around the corner, and with it comes one of the most exciting things we do each year at Phase.
Project Hope is back.
For one month only, from 1 to 31 December, every £1 given is doubled, up to £7,500. That means twice the impact for children and young people’s mental health and wellbeing.
Since Project Hope began in 2021, supporters like you have helped raise over £50,000, funding work in local schools and free resources that have now been accessed by more than 150,000 people. That is a lot of hope.
And this year, you can get involved even before the campaign starts.
Why Project Hope matters for young people
Life as a young person is not getting any easier. Pressure, change, exams, friendships, social media, family worries – it can feel like a lot.
Through Project Hope, Phase is able to:
- run resilience and wellbeing sessions in primary and secondary schools
- provide small group support for pupils who feel anxious, overwhelmed or stuck
- train older students to support younger ones through our GROW programme
- create free videos, guides and resources for families and schools
The impact is real.
One pupil who took part in a support group told us:
“Phase’s group sessions were a breath of fresh air. They helped me replace unhelpful habits with positive ones, in a supportive and caring environment.”
A sixth form student who joined the GROW programme said:
“The GROW programme pushed me out of my comfort zone and into a world of new friendships and fun. It boosted my confidence more than I ever expected.”
This is what you are investing in when you back Project Hope – not just good ideas, but real change in real young lives.
How matched giving works
Matched giving is beautifully simple.
- You give to Project Hope during December
- Our match funders double your gift, up to £7,500
- Phase uses the total to deliver practical wellbeing support in local schools and beyond
Your £20 becomes £40.
Your £50 becomes £100.
Your generosity stretches further than it normally could.
Three ways you can get involved right now
You might be thinking, “This all starts in December, so what can I do today?” Glad you asked.
1. Make a pledge
You can pledge your support now and we will remind you once Project Hope goes live on 1 December. It takes less than a minute.
No money yet, just a simple “Count me in.”
2. Share Project Hope with others
You probably know someone who cares about young people – a friend, colleague, family member, church group, sports team or business.
- Share this blog with them
- Point them to the pledge form
- Tell them why supporting young people’s mental health matters to you
A quick share can open the door to a lot more hope.
3. Get your workplace, school, church or club involved
Project Hope is a great focus for:
- end of year giving
- “charity of the month” slots
- Christmas collections or fundraising events
If you would like to explore this – whether as an individual or on behalf of a business, school, church or community group – we would love to chat and can provide posters, postcards and ready to use text for newsletters or social media.
Drop us a line at office@phase-hitchin.org or contact Kieran directly and we will make it easy to get involved.
