About us
In the corporate world, great ideas are rewarded. Funds quickly flow to the most effective companies. In the charity sector that isn’t always the case. The big names with big budgets receive the lion’s share of income, irrespective of their effectiveness. At Raise Your Hands we find and select small charities with proven impact. We work with companies and people who want a different experience of giving and confidence that funds will be well spent. We introduce them to a portfolio of organisations they wouldn’t find otherwise. Then we provide experiences of giving that are something out of the ordinary. Launched in 2015, to date we have raised over £1.6m for our selected charity partners. Raise Your Hands is a charity (CIO) registered in England & Wales, charity no. 1174956.

Huge congratulations and thank you for all of your support so far. Utterly delicious and doing good too. It's a win-win!
We're THRILLED to announce that Throwdown has won SILVER in the Great British Food Awards ☕️ This has been a hard secret to keep for the last few months, but we're overjoyed that our charity blend has been recognised for it's great taste (as well as doing good!) If you didn't know already, Throwdown was created in partnership with Raise Your Hands to improve and impact the lives of children and young people across the UK by donating 50p from every bag sold to 14 exceptional small charities. With notes of Milk Chocolate, Blackcurrant and Peach Iced Tea, the coffee blend has sweet berry like acidity, balanced against heavy mouthfeel and smooth undertones.

Today marks the start of National Care Leavers Week – a national campaign to raise awareness of the issues that those in care face. We know from our work with Become that children in care rarely get favours or leg-ups. There are over 100,000 children in care in the UK but simply not enough places for them to live. Some children are moved multiple times each year, having to build new relationships or change schools, without the stability of a place to call home. When they succeed it is often despite the system, not because of it. Become’s mission is to help children in care and young care leavers believe in themselves – to heal, grow and unleash their potential.

Described as “one of the most exhilarating, discombobulating, potentially life-changing theatrical experiences going”, immersive theatre sensation You Me Bum Bum Train is back in London for 2024 and we are thrilled to be working with them as an associate partner. Our partnership was born out of shared beliefs in the potential of young people, raising money for charities in innovative ways and the power of collaboration between art, business and charity to create positive social impact. All tickets for this year’s incredibly exciting and secretive show have already been allocated, BUT we may have our hands on a few, as well as access to organising private nights for groups. If you’d like to know more about how to get yourself a ticket for You Me Bum Bum Train, sign up to our mailing list here: (https://lnkd.in/ewb6pqxD) and keep your eyes on your inbox for further information. To find out more about private nights, drop us a message. #ymbbt #youmebumbumtrain #londonevents #immersivetheatre

It's #HospiceCareWeek, which feels like the perfect time to mention one of our charities: Jessie May – a specialist nursing support service designed for children with life-limiting and life-threatening conditions. Unlike traditional hospices, Jessie May delivers its services in the family's own home, and has been doing since 1996. They support the whole family for the whole journey - in life, at end of life and in bereavement. Find out more about them (and the rest of our brilliant charities) here: https://lnkd.in/eEdZJqRG
