Raise Your Hands believes all children and young people deserve to thrive, to build happy and fulfilling lives, and that small charities are essential in making this happen. 

However, small charities suffer from a funding crisis – too small to be seen, too small to cover big losses when economic winds change, and too small to survive with only ring-fenced funds.

Raise Your Hands’ mission is to seek out exceptional small charities to support and to offer donors a different way to support them, thereby amplifying the impact that small charities can have on the lives of children and young people.

Innovators in the philanthropic space, Raise Your Hands empowers donors by delivering an experience that builds confidence and improves understanding. And by creating a platform of charities, its donors don’t have the difficulty of having to choose one cause or charity to support. 

There are 17 carefully selected and monitored small charities on its platform.  All are based across the UK, have a turnover of less than £2m, and have an interesting and innovative approach to tackling the issues facing the children they work with.
