BECOME A SPONSOR

Livewire is a totally self-funding charity, running on grants and donations to cover it’s annual running cost of c.£200k. Demand for our services, particulary mental well-being, is growing all the time. We are determined to help as many young people as we can.

If you’re an organisation interested in finding a worthy cause for your Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) programme, there is no more visible project for changing young lives in the South West than Livewire Youth Project. If you’re a private individual, the same applies and your donations are welcome and invaluable.

You’ll be able to see and measure the results of your contributions, be they financial or in another form – take a look at our stories and you’ll see a small sample of the incredible outcomes we’ve been delivering for over 30 years. If your interest is specifically CSR, please contact Andy Rance at andy@livewireyouth.com or 01752 843570.

If you’re a member of the local community and want to see our young people engaged in constructive activity, you can either donate via PayPal button on the top right of our website or at the bottom of this page, or contact us for alternative methods.

How your donations help

With the help of your donations we provide numerous activities and vital support services for local young people in Saltash and the wider area, including Plymouth and several nearby key towns in Cornwall. The activities and services we deliver include, but are by no means limited to:

  • Providing open access evening sessions for young people aged 10-21 on Mondays and Thursdays, where they can meet, play pool, learn a musical instrument, learn how to sing solo, or with a band, and perform on a stage in front of their peers and ultimately the public.
  • Developing the confidence to perform in our 200 capacity venue, which is an impressive place for our young people to hone their stagecraft and performance skills through practice, rehearsal and playing in front of real audiences. Instruments are provided and are funded from donations or by contributions of the instruments themselves.
  • Learning to use a state of the art recording studio (much of which has been donated by Pete Townshend), control stage lighting, deliver live sound.
  • Providing one to one support with one of our youth workers or counsellors to help resolve personal, school, work, or confidence issues and in general, raising their self esteem.
  • Providing a Wednesday junior club for 10-13-year olds, which is a well-staffed and affords a safe place for them to meet and access some of our music facilities and other activities.
  • Encouraging young people to be a part of the Livewire community which is a strong, safe, non-judgemental environment where they can grow and develop.
  • Supporting young people with mental health issues from our dedicated team of counsellors and youth workers.
