Big Give – Double your donation
Can you help Coach Core this Christmas?
This Christmas you can double your impact on the lives of marginalised young people by making a donation to Coach Core through our Big Give campaign.
For one week – 3-10 December – when you donate via the Big Give you will unlock double the impact. Donate £10 to give £20. Or turn £500 into £1,000! One donation, DOUBLE the impact.
Coach Core are aiming to raise £25,000 which will help us launch five new apprenticeship programs and support 60 young people in gaining skills and meaningful jobs.
1 in 8 young people are out of work, education or training.
This will lead to long-term scarring: reduced lifetime earnings, increased risk of future unemployment and decreased wellbeing.
We need your help to support young people into the workforce before it is too late.
Can you help us hit the target and double the impact on the lives of marginalised young people?

Haider comes from Alum Rock in Birmingham, one of the top 20 most deprived communities in the UK, with over 50% of the population economically inactive. Haider struggled with traditional learning at school – receiving support from a reader and scribe to help with his dyslexia.
“Throughout school and college my exam results were never the best. My learning difficulty definitely played a big part in that. I knew I needed to take a different route, and that I’d excel at something more hands on”.
Through Coach Core Haider was able to find a route into a career he was passionate about working in sport and using it to help his community.
“I’ve lived in Alum Rock my whole life. It’s a tough area to grow up in as a young person. Kids don’t have many positive role models, so it’s very easy to get sucked into the wrong crowd”.
Haider delivers weekly cricket and football sessions to fifty local children as part of his apprenticeship.
“We create a safe space for the kids to go to; it keeps them off the streets, introduces them to an environment where they are surrounded by positive influence, and importantly promotes a healthy lifestyle through exercise. I’m always getting on at them to eat better too!”
Over a fifth of Coach Core apprentices are from learning difficulty backgrounds and we aim to increase that to 40% by 2027 as part of a drive to create 500 new sports coaching apprenticeships.
Your support during via the Big Give will make a huge impact on the lives of young people across the country. Can you help us hit the target and double the impact on the lives of marginalised young people like Haider?

The Big Give is an organisation that pairs charities up with major funders every Christmas. These funders commit to matching the funding of any donations made during Big Give week – which means any donation made in that time is doubled! Find out more.
