At the end of 2023, a Year 8 class from Tapton School Sheffield chose Mums In Need as their charity partner for the impactful First Give program. Throughout the project, the students actively engaged in social action, fundraising, and spreading awareness to support women affected by post-separation abuse and coercive control.
Their dedication led them to compete in the Tapton School First Give final in March 2024, where the winning class had the opportunity to secure an additional £1,000 to support their chosen charity. Mums In Need was honoured to be invited to this inspiring event, celebrating the students’ commitment and passion for tackling domestic abuse issues.
Although we did not win the extra funds, we are immensely proud to have been part of this educational initiative that empowers young people to understand and address the challenges of post-separation abuse and coercive control.
A big thank you to the Tapton School students for selecting Mums In Need and dedicating their efforts to fundraising and raising awareness for our cause. Their hard work and enthusiasm are truly commendable.
Congratulations also go to the winning Year 8 class and their chosen charity, Flourish, for securing the additional funding to support their mission.
