Welcome to GAIN Giving Week 2024! We are on a mission to raise funds for the GAIN Bursary, an essential initiative dedicated to helping students overcome financial barriers. Our goal is to ensure that every student has equal opportunities to attend events, access professional attire, and gain the confidence they need to succeed in their internships and future careers.
The GAIN Bursary provides vital financial support to students, covering costs such as train tickets to attend important events and purchasing clothes that help them feel confident in professional settings. By alleviating these financial stresses, we enable students to focus on what truly matters: their education and professional development.
As a token of our appreciation, donors who contribute a minimum of £2 will have the opportunity to receive a GAIN-themed goodie bag packed with amazing items:
A guaranteed ticket to an insight day at one of our partner firms
A GAIN hoodie
A book
Useful items like highlighters
A £100 voucher
A coffee or Zoom session with one of our fantastic trustees for industry insights and personal connections
To be considered for the goodie bag, please ensure you provide your name and email when making your donation. If you prefer, you can also email a screenshot of your donation to sherin@gainuk.org. This helps us identify and thank our generous supporters properly.
As someone from a low-income background, I understand the anxiety of entering spaces where attire plays a significant role. The pressure to find affordable clothing that fits certain standards adds unnecessary stress to an already nerve-wracking experience. That's why I'm deeply committed to raising funds for the GAIN Bursary. Together, we can ensure that students feel empowered and confident, without the burden of financial constraints. - Sherin, GAIN UK
