Absolutely WONDERFUL to see a student from @officialRPHS at the AGM for Jigsaw4U, due to their work raising money and awareness for the charity on the @FirstGiveUK programme. We're proud of how the programme brings together charities, schools and individuals in a genuine way.
Thank you to everyone who have helped make this year our most impactful yet for our children, young people and families.
And a massive well done to the Stars of 2024 π§©π

Lives Not Knives works with high risk young people to prevent gang crime and violence.
Year on year, gang violence/knife crime is one of the top 3 social issues the young people we work with choose to tackle (all over the UK). It's an issue that means a lot to young people...

they're often the ones involved, but also desperately want to see it stop. This year, LNK won five times, receiving Β£5,000 from First Give for their amazing work. This doesn't count how many classes have chosen to support them but not quite won the First Give Grant. @LNKcharity

As part of the @FirstGiveUK Project, Y9s hosted a bake sale to raise money for their chosen charity @SaferLondon1 . This empowered them to take positive action for a cause they care about and ignited a spark of social conscience #arkactonacademy, #westlondon, #londonschools
