PROMISEworks, an innovative children’s charity based in Somerset, has launched its first-ever crowdfunding campaign to expand its vital mentoring programme.
The charity currently supports over 150 mentoring relationships across the county, carefully matching each child or young person with a trained, compassionate volunteer mentor for a minimum of two years. These long-term relationships help young people build resilience, confidence, and a stronger sense of self-worth within a safe and supportive environment.
In keeping with PROMISEworks’ inclusive approach, donations start from just £1 — enough to fund the charity’s operations across Somerset for one minute. This unique model ensures that everyone can play a part, no matter their means, in helping to change young lives for the better.
Supporters can also receive exclusive rewards, including a copy of PROMISEworks’ latest impact report or an inspiring case study highlighting the difference the charity’s work makes.
“We want everyone to feel involved,” said a PROMISEworks spokesperson. “To know that even £1 can support every relationship, every referral, every training session, and every safe space we create.”
PROMISEworks would also like to invite local Somerset business’s to take part: “By given a donation we can give a shout out on our social media page, we are also offering the opportunity for their website banner and logo to go on our supporters page, this is a perfect opportunity to work collaboratively across the community, networking and making connections.”
