Motiv8 is a story about brighter futures, trusted relationships, and change that matters and lasts. Without your support Motiv8 would not be able to continue providing for our communities. We rely on donations to keep our services running for the young people that need them more than ever.

There are many Different Ways to Donate to Motiv8

You can help to raise money to provide support for vulnerable young people and the families around them by making donations online, in the post or by joining a local community lottery.

You can find out more about the many ways in which you can donate money to Motiv8 below.

From the 2nd until 9th December, every penny, pound and pledge made to Motiv8 through the Big Give Christmas Challenge, will be doubled.

This means together and thanks to support like yours we can continue being there for those most in need and support young people whatever their story from all parts of our community.

The Easiest Way To Give Is Online.

During the week of the 2nd December we are encouraging people to make their donation through the Big Give.

Thanks to our generous match funders and Champion every donation that is made via this platform will be doubled. This means we can reach even more young people and family who need our help, whenever they need it and for as long as they need us.

We want to publicly thank The Reed Educational Trust, The Partnership Foundation, Tansy Trust, 2KBW, Focus Foundation, Sir Jeremiah Colman Gift Trust and a generous individual donor who wishes to remain anonymous for allowing us to create such an ambitious match pot.

Feedback From Families

‘Since attending Monday hub Z has positively dealt with anger and has been able to take steps to remain calm in difficult situation, K has been able to complete tasks independently and voice her opinion more easily’

‘B counts down the days till she goes to youth hub on Wednesday, B has grown in confidence doing these activities and it plays a vital part in her life’

‘E seems happier on a Monday when she has hub, she is more talkative, and it is nice to see her away from her screen’

‘My three boys really enjoy coming every Monday and taking part in the different activities and making friends’

‘It is nice to know there is somewhere for my child to go where it is safe for them to socialise with friends’

‘I’ve noticed change & it’s amazing to see thank you for all your hard work so far’

Feedback From Young People

‘I enjoyed the sessions with my Support Worker, they have really helped me see things from a different perspective’

‘I loved going to the employability event, it was an eye opener to learn about all the things I never thought of when writing my CV’

‘Motiv8 staff are always very friendly, and hub enabled me to try out new songs in the music room. I was able to talk to someone if I needed it. Whenever Motiv8 workers bought in food for people they were always considerate of my allergies which made me feel included.’

‘I love Motiv8, sometimes it’s the only thing that keeps me going’.

‘I wish my sessions went on forever, I really benefit from the support’

Feedback From Community Partners

‘I just want to mention how much we massively appreciate all the staff and how much they put into each session; it is very apparent how much they care for the emotional wellbeing of all the children’

‘Motiv8’s core is connection and kindness. This is what makes a community like theirs so unique and full of heart.’

‘I think Motiv8’s service is invaluable to young people as they listen to the young persons needs and mould and guide them. Listening to schools involved in their mentoring programme, I have been told that many young people would not be here if they had not had them to talk to. This really saddens me to hear children talk this way, but am glad they have had somebody positive to talk to help them resolve any issues they are facing.’

‘Motvi8 are undoubtedly the ‘go to’ organisation for supporting young people and children who other support services fail to engage. Motiv8 is known for its professionalism, innovation and ability to really understand and champion the voice of the young people and children they work with.’

‘There has never been an organisation that makes partnership working so seamless. Their professionalism, diligence and empathy make them an organisation that we are proud to call a partner. Keep up the good work Motiv8 – amazing!’
