Tender joins the Big Give Arts For Impact campaign

Double your donation to Tender as part of the Big Give’s new campaign, showcasing how arts can drive positive change in our society.

Between 19th and 26th March 2024, Tender is taking part in the Big Give: Arts for Impact campaign!

Every donation to the campaign will be DOUBLED until we reach £10,000. That’s one donation – twice the impact. 

We’re looking to raise a total of £20,000 to deliver nine Healthy Relationships projects in London. London has one of the highest rates of peer-on-peer abuse in the UK, accounting for half of all child sexual exploitation cases in the area (MOPAC, 2016). Even with the new RHSE curriculum, only 46% of students feel confident of who to talk to if they experience abuse and only 52% felt they had an understanding of healthy and unhealthy relationships (SafeLives, 2022). 

Drama is such a good way to really help me understand properly.

This campaign focuses on our arts-based approach to preventing domestic abuse and sexual violence. We use script-work, role-play and films to support young people to understand healthy and unhealthy behaviours in relationships. 

These nine projects will empower up to 765 young people to prevent abuse in their relationships. With your support, we can build a kinder, safer generation – free from abuse. 

Students gained an incredible level of maturity in discussing difficult topics from their participation. They also developed their confidence vastly, with even the least confident students requesting more opportunities to practise public speaking and performing after the workshop finished.
