Spring Connector puts a spring in our step!

Date

Thank you to everyone who joined us for our Spring Connector event at Janus Henderson on Wednesday and helped make the evening such a success through your generous support. 

Together, we raised a fantastic £35,000 for three brilliant small charities: Colyton Foundation, which is increasing opportunities for young people in the South West; Learn English at Home (LEAH), which offers free English lessons to refugees and asylum seekers in west London; and Freeshop Lebanon, which is providing shelter and essential support to families displaced by the ongoing conflict and bombardment in Lebanon.

We also heard a moving and inspiring impact report from the Zahid Mubarek Trust, demonstrating the difference TFN funding from last year’s Spring Connector has made to their work delivering education and mentoring programmes in prisons, and challenging racism and inequality in the criminal justice system.

It’s not too late to donate! You can still watch the charities’ pitches by following this link and support their vital work.

Last but by no means least, thank you to our friends at Janus Henderson for hosting us for a fourth year and enabling us to give a platform to 12 highly impactful small charities and raise vital funds for their work.
