Give the Gift of Creativity this Festive Season
If you’re stuck for gift ideas this year, why not give something that matters? Donate to a Daisi on behalf of a friend or family member, and you’ll be helping a child or young person in Devon access the transformative power of the arts.
It’s a present that lasts longer than Christmas Day, bringing joy twice: once to the person you share it with, and again to the young people whose lives your generosity helps brighten.
Make this Christmas meaningful by sparking creativity where it’s needed most.
How Your Gift Makes a Difference
Every donation helps Daisi bring high-quality creative experiences to children and young people across Devon and Torbay.
From hands-on workshops in schools to longer term community projects that offer a safe space to explore feelings and build confidence, your support helps young people who may otherwise miss out on the life-enhancing benefits of the arts.
– £10 helps provide art materials for a workshop
– £25 supports a young person to take part in a creative session
– £50 contributes to bringing a professional artist into a school or youth setting
– £100+ helps towards funding workshops that inspire whole groups of children
As the festive season approaches, many of us find ourselves wondering how best to balance our budget and sustainability consciousness with the consumerist expectations promoted through the media. And this December those concerns feel substantial.
In the wake of Covid, and with the huge challenges of the cost-of-living crisis, young people across Devon and Torbay are suffering from more mental health issues than ever before.
“In the last few years, the likelihood of young people having a mental health problem has increased by 50%. Now, five children in a classroom of 30 are likely to have a mental health problem.” The Children’s Society
Meanwhile, schools have their purse strings tightened weekly. Access to the arts is often one of the first priorities to be cut in school, even while children are known to benefit from it and need it now, as much as ever.
