About Giving Nation
Giving Nation is a national initiative which supports young people to give. Whether it is your time, energy or voice, we believe every young person can play a part in challenging the issues that face others in the UK and overseas.
We challenge you to turn your generosity into action by selecting the issue that matters most to your class/group, before then taking action as social entrepreneurs, fundraisers, campaigners or volunteers.
Use your skills, varied talents, imagination and networks to shine a light on your issue!
