SUPPORT COMPASS: FESTIVE FUNDRAISER
We're raising vital funds to continue our work supporting young refugees and asylum seekers across the UK. This year we have worked with more than 250 young people aged 14–30 through English classes, creative projects and welfare support, building skills and confidence, fostering community and belonging, and celebrating diversity and inclusion.
Our vision is that young people seeking sanctuary are welcomed, celebrated, heard and understood, and able to live meaningful, fulfilling lives in the UK.
As a small charity reliant on grants and donations, we face an increasingly challenging fundraising landscape while our work is needed more than ever. Please support us to continue delivering our vital work in 2026.
Read on to hear how you can help and where your support will go.
Here are two ways you can help our Festive Fundraiser:
1. Make a donation. Any amount, big or small, will go directly to continuing our programmes in the new year.
2. Share our Festive Fundraiser with your friends, colleagues, neighbours or social media followers.
3. Host your own fundraising event! Whether it's a bake sale, an open mic night or a sponsored cold-water swim on Christmas Day, why not get festive in aid of Compass Collective!

Where will the money go?
All donations raised will go directly towards our programmes: providing English language support, creative workshops boosting confidence and wellbeing, and 1:1 welfare support to those in crisis.
£10 pays for a young person's travel costs to attend one of our workshops.
£25 will cover an hour of 1:1 welfare casework for a young person facing homelessness.
£50 covers the cost for one young person to attend a day of workshops, building skills and confidence.
£100 pays for an entire term of weekly online English classes for a young person new to the UK.
What is the impact?
“This programme changed my life. Since arriving in the UK I have only stayed in my room all the time and never went out. This has been the best thing since coming to the UK.”
