Help more vulnerable girls feel safe this Christmas
Double your donation to Platform 51 today
From today until this Friday 9 December, if you donate to Platform 51 your gift will be doubled at no extra cost to you, and will help more vulnerable girls and women get safe off the streets.
At 17 Amber was forced to leave home and live on the streets, where she was drawn into a dark world of drugs and violence. With no-one to care for her, she faced a terrifying winter alone and struggling to survive.
But because of the generosity of people like you, Platform 51 was there for Amber when she needed it most.
Amber was able to talk through her problems with a trained counsellor, and get advice to help her find accommodation, get clean from drugs and improve her confidence.
Please help us reach more vulnerable girls like Amber. From Monday 5 to Friday 9 December, the Big Give* and generous Platform 51 supporters have created a special fund which could double the value of your donation at no extra cost to you.
Donate online from 10am on Monday 5 December to double your gift and give more girls like Amber someone to talk to and a place they can feeel safe.
If you need any more information or have any questions, please get in touch with the supporters team on 01865 304205 or email supporters@platform51.org
Only donations made to Platform 51 through the Big Give website from 10am Monday 05 to Friday 09 December will be doubled.
* The Big Give is a charitable foundation providing a special fund to match donations as part of their Christmas Challenge.
