A new minibus for homeless young people
GIVE YOUNG PEOPLE WITH TOUGH PASTS A CHANCE TO MOVE ONHow do I do that?By raising money for a second-hand minibus to get young people with difficult backgrounds to outdoor locations for activities that develop teamwork, leadership and communications skills. What does it cost?It costs £10,000 to buy a second-hand minibus. When will I see the difference?As soon as our minibus is on the road. What will I see?We’ll send pictures of our first trip in the new bus, along with that famous receipt! Scroll down the page to "success stories" to see the difference already made.
Tell me more...As Sean just explained through the power of rap in the video, Amber helps around 180 young people with difficult backgrounds every year, primarily from around their home bases in Devon, Wiltshire and Surrey. And with an 80% success rate in helping these people turn their lives around, it's clear they're doing something right. The £10,000 you help raise will pay for a second-hand mini bus to get them to outdoor locations for abseiling, canoeing, orienteering, rock climbing and footy against the other centres - activities that develop teamwork, leadership and communications skills.
You helped get our minibus fund off the ground!Update: December 2010. Dear Dom, Mike, Rachel, Tom, Gerrie, Jane, Steven, Joanne, Tim and James Thanks to you our minibus fund is off the ground. In the short video above Lee, an Amber success, tells you about the journey he has been on and how a new minibus will take him even further towards a fresh start. To help us get this minibus on the road we'd really appreciate it if you could spread the word, "like" the project on facebook, make us your "favourite project" on your See The Difference profile and tell your friends. Thanks again Lee |
