First Give
First Give works in partnership with secondary schools to inspire and equip young people to carry out social action, tackling issues in their local community that matter to them.
First Give engages with a year group of students over a 12-week term, developing their confidence and presentation skills, as well as forging community links between their school and local charities.
The programme finishes with a First Give School Final, where the groups of students aim to convince a panel of judges that their charity deserves £1,000. The winning team wins this grant for their chosen charity.

First Give seeks to ignite a “spark of social conscience” in young people by providing them with opportunities to support charities working in their local community. Over an eight-lesson programme.
The Jack Petchey Foundation and First Give have worked in partnership since 2015. Since the launch of our partnership, First Give and the Jack Petchey Foundation have worked together to inspire over 100,000 young people to give back to their communities. Through the programme, young people develop key skills including communication, leadership, project planning and teamwork, as well as growing in confidence and empathy while acquiring an increased sense of agency.
