Support the Lotus Flower’s "Rise and Thrive" Campaign: Your Donation and Impact Doubled This Week through Big Give!
We are thrilled to announce that the Lotus Flower will be launching an exciting new project – Rise and Thrive – and we need your help!
Thanks to the extremely generous support of the Big Give Women and Girls Match Fund, if we raise £5000 they will match every pound up to £5000! Bringing us to our total target amount of £10,000. Make any size donation between 10th - 17th October and the impact will be doubled, helping us empower under-represented women and girls in East Sussex.
What is Rise and Thrive?
Rise and Thrive is designed to help local women and girls who struggle to access stable employment or grow their businesses. Through tailored workshops at our central hub in Hastings, participants will receive job-readiness training, career support, and business growth skills. These opportunities will help participants gain confidence, secure jobs, and contribute to the local economy.
Our goals are to:
Provide job-readiness skills to participants, boosting their confidence and employability.
Support local businesses by connecting them with skilled workers from our community.
Create a community-led ecosystem that fosters economic self-sufficiency.
Encourage long-term growth through job placements, resilience-building, and collaboration.
In the short term, we aim to empower women and girls to take control of their futures by offering them access to skills, resources, and networks. In the long term, this project will reduce unemployment, stimulate local business growth, and lead to more engaged, thriving communities.
How Can You Help?
We need to raise £5,000 in the next 7 days to meet our £10,000 goal. By donating during the campaign window, your contribution will be matched by Big Give, meaning your impact is immediately doubled. This match-funding initiative is a fantastic way to amplify your generosity. No amount is too small - every donation counts towards transforming lives.
For example:
A £20 donation becomes £40
A £50 donation becomes £100
A £1000 donation becomes £2000!
