Since 2016 we have donated some of our profits to UK based charities that support 16-25 year olds with disabilities or other disadvantages.
In particular, projects that grow personal/work experience, confidence and life skills.
We also support two assistance dog charities that have an enormously empowering effect on people's lives.
We look for organisations with a positive track record of success and a desire to connect and have a positive relationship with supporters. Further details of some of these are below.
Orpheus believes that disabled young people should have the same opportunities as their non-disabled peers.
They aim to equip young disabled people with the skills and confidence they need in order to live independent and fulfilling lives.
Orpheus was founded by Richard Stilgoe in 1998 and one of its focuses is building confidence through the performing arts. Find out more in this information video.
