Assisting young people to create a better future.
Christmas 2017 appeal – #GiveAFutureToday
#GiveAFutureToday
As part of our Christmas campaign we would like to encourage colleagues, schools, community groups and businesses to help change the lives of the students we meet.
The BEN changes teenage lives through education and training, the projects that we deliver need your support this Christmas.
#GiveAFutureToday
You can help in many different ways to change a young life today.
What is the key to breaking the cycle of poverty? Education! Education is a basic human right but as unique as the individual is so must we strive to deliver the education that best suits their individuality. Whether that is through a traineeship, a university education, an apprenticeship or another pathway – the key is education – education that captures a passion – ignites a fire, changes a life.

Youth Mentoring
Do you have a business? Can you give our youth the opportunity to see how business operates, to see what a job looks like or where a skillset can be applied? Can you help them to understand why learning a particular skill now reaps the rewards later?
Yes? We need you! Create your greatest Christmas impact and change the direction of a young life.

Shop with an impact
Poverty and disadvantage at home often extends to disadvantage at school.
Starting out with disadvantage often leads to a future of disadvantage and a life on welfare. Our work is important because we are bridging the gap, creating pathways, changing futures.
Please help us to release their potential, help us change their Christmas and their life by donating today.
Donate
Is all learning equal? If we are not all made equal how can it be? We want our students to fall in love with learning but learning that suits their needs, individuality and learning style – what does it look like? It looks like traineeships, apprenticeships, experiential learning, learning from local businesses, exploring what a career might look like, what a job feels like. Learning that they are worth the investment. Invest in BEN today and invest in the future of our young people. Have a look at ways in which you can donate today.
Why not encourage monthly giving at work?
Your support means that the young people we connect with get the support that they need through our programs, your support means that these young people would otherwise do without. Your support means improved outcomes for young people, their families and society as a whole.
Inspire your employees to make regular monthly donations to make a big difference to our youth.
Help BEN smash all expectations of what success looks like and means!
Help a young person feel they belong this Christmas, don’t let them fall behind, don’t let them feel like they’re not worth the investment – because they truly are, show them that their local community care’s what happens to them.
