Individual Giving
Be part of the ripple effect
Your gift helps a young person believe in themselves and step into leadership that changes the direction of their life. You’re investing in a future – when one young person is supported, the impact ripples outward, strengthening families, schools, and communities.
With your support we can
-
Reach more young people who are losing hope
-
Fund mentoring relationships that create belonging, resilience and lifelong change
-
Transform lives – both of the young people we support and the children they mentor
-
Provide qualifications, essential life skills and improved mental health
-
Strengthen schools, families and communities for generations to come.
‘Growing2gether gave me confidence and made me know for sure that I want to work in a nursery when I am older. I know I will have to work hard at school now if I want to get there.’
‘As the weeks went on my confidence kept on growing. I realised that being in the nursery was the highlight of my week, every week.’
Legacy Giving
Give someone their future
A gift in your Will can give a Young Person something life-changing: the belief that they matter, they belong, and that they have something valuable to give.
And when young people find their voice, they don’t just build community, they become the force that transforms it – and the world.
Leaving a gift in your will
Leaving a legacy is simpler than many people realise, and it need not be large to make a lasting difference.
You can include Growing2gether in your will by speaking with your solicitor or will-writer, or by adding a codicil to an existing will. Many people choose to leave a small percentage of their estate, while others leave a fixed amount – whatever feels right for you and your loved ones.
If you have questions, please be in touch. All conversations are confidential and without obligation.

Meet Jan
Jan was excluded from school and depressed when she became a young carer. ‘I was so shy and anxious, but [the child I was mentoring] would come up to me smiling and take my hand. She wouldn’t speak to anyone in the nursery, but she spoke to me. I felt honoured.
‘I could have gone down a really bad road. Growing2gether helped me believe in myself. I’m now joining with other young people to create films about mental health, to make a difference in my community.’

'Growing2gether is the most professional, ethical and open 3rd sector organisation I have ever worked with. Your openness to scrutiny and honest evaluation is second to none and, as a result, you make a significant impact on children and young people.' – Highland Council
