EdShift – We are on a mission to tackle the root causes of domestic abuse and violence, transforming the lives of children and young people through the healing power of the arts.

Every day, children and young people in Calderdale are living with the hidden impact of domestic abuse. At EdShift, we provide safety, support and healing through creativity, connection and community. But with major funding ending in 2025, we urgently need your help to keep our vital services running.

Your donation today helps us protect children at the most vulnerable moments of their lives.

What Your Support Helps Us Do:

At EdShift @ The YouthBase, young people aged 4–21 find:

- A safe space to explore emotions

-Creative programmes that heal trauma

-Support to understand relationships

-A community who believes and understands them

-Food, essentials and emotional wellbeing support for families

We tackle the root causes of domestic abuse, help children make sense of their experiences, and empower them to build healthy futures.

But we can only keep doing this with your support.

Make an Immediate Impact

🛒 £15 – Provide a Family Food Bag

Why It Matters

The cost-of-living crisis is making domestic abuse even more dangerous. Children are worrying about food, money, school holidays and parents in conflict. BraveBoxes and Family Food Bags reach young people at the most crucial moments, reducing risk and offering immediate comfort, safety and hope.

Your donation helps us:

-Keep YouthBase open

-Deliver crisis support

-Run prevention programmes

-Support families during hardship

-Give children tools to feel safe and understood

Together, we can break cycles of abuse - one child, one family, one act of kindness at a time.
