How you can support Young Roots:

Fundraise for us at school, at home, or in your local community. There are many different ways you could raise money, such as hosting a quiz night, putting on a talent show, or organising a bake sale. For more fundraising ideas, click here!

You could spread the word...

Raise awareness of Young Roots through Classroom and School Presentations - ask your teachers if you can give a presentation about our work and the difficulties faced by young refugees. You could also consider writing a newsletter to your school community raising awareness about the experiences of young refugees and Young Roots' work.
