How we work
Giving Nation is designed to be inclusive of all young people, regardless of their ability. We offer projects and support to teachers working in a variety of settings. It is a well established and successful programme.
Giving Nation consists of two financially supported active-learning programmes: the Giving Nation Challenge for mainstream schools and the Giving Nation Spirit for alternative settings and SEN classes in mainstream schools.
Through these programmes, young people can learn about charities, social enterprise and individual giving as part of the curriculum. They encompass content from a range of national curriculum subjects, including Citizenship, PSHE, English, Maths and ICT.
They also link to several qualifications and accreditations and develop skills such as independent learning and team work.
The programmes provide all the resources needed to take student groups through the process of developing and running their social action project. They are designed to minimise the amount of preparation required by teachers.
Students work in classes or groups to fundraise, campaign, volunteer or develop a social enterprise for a cause they feel strongly about, using a seed grant.
To apply for the grant and access the resources, you need to first register or login.
