5 Fundraising 5 Every Pound Doubled for Young People in Lambeth

Every Pound Doubled for Young People in Lambeth

From the 3rd to the 10th of December 2025, every pound you donate to Rathbone will be match-funded, meaning your support for young people in Lambeth will have double the impact.

Our youth clubs give disadvantaged, disabled and disengaged children and young people a safe place to learn, socialise and grow. With your help, we can reach even more young people who need our support.

Why this matters

Young people in our borough face real challenges: overcrowded homes, food insecurity, and limited access to safe, welcoming spaces. Many live with learning disabilities or poor mental health and need trusted adults and positive activities around them.

Your donation will help us:

  • Keep our youth clubs running three nights a week across two sites.
  • Provide hot meals, creative and sporting activities, and a quiet space to study.
  • Support at-risk young people through outreach and resilience programmes.

How match funding works

During the Big Give Christmas Challenge, every pound you donate between 3–10 December will be doubled by our funders — turning £10 into £20 and £100 into £200 to support local young people.

If you give once this year, make it count twice.

How to donate

Thank you

Your generosity makes our work possible. Together, we can create a community where every young person, whatever their circumstances, has the chance to feel safe, valued and inspired.
