Brighter Futures Appeal: Bringing Hope to Young People This Christmas

Christmas should be a time of joy, connection, and celebration. But for many young people in Didcot and Wallingford, it’s a time that highlights the challenges they face—family breakdowns, mental health struggles, and feelings of isolation. At TRAIN, we’re committed to changing that.

Our Brighter Futures Appeal aims to ensure that young people in our community have access to the support they need to feel safe, valued, and hopeful during the festive season. Through youth clubs, group mental health workshops, and one-to-one mentoring, we provide vital safe spaces and opportunities for young people to grow in confidence, develop life skills, and build positive relationships.

"TRAIN helped me to develop my confidence, make friends and made me feel happier overall" - Tristan, aged 13

By supporting the Brighter Futures Appeal, you’ll help us offer life-changing services that make a real difference to the young people who need it most. Every pound raised will enable us to provide a safe space, equip young people with tools to thrive, and build a stronger, more supportive community.

This Christmas, you can give the gift of hope. Together, we can create brighter futures.
