How your sponsorship could make a difference

Click through the pictures below to learn how your donations can support our work with children and young people.

Relationships
Love, friendships and relationships are vital to us all. Young people want to keep in touch with the people who matter the most to them, but this can be difficult for young people who have had to move many times in their young lives. With often sudden challenges of independence and adulthood this can get lost along the way.
We ensure that young people are supported to maintain the most important relationships to them at the time and pace that works for them – they are in the driving seat with our support.

Financial Stability
Finding and maintaining a job on top of all the responsibility of adulthood can be overwhelming, especially if it is a young person's first experience of working life. Because of their previous life experiences, many of the young people we work with do not feel confident in their skills, talents, or potential. We spend time helping them discover their strengths and inner diamond.
We give young people the skills they need to succeed in the workplace, support them to explore job opportunities, and help them find the right career.

Resilience
Life can throw a range of challenges at young people, particularly those who have experience of care, which requires resilience to overcome. These are skills that young people need to develop as they grow.
We empower young people in care so they are actively involved in decision making and can take charge of their future at St Christopher’s and when they move on from us.
