birthday. Since our beginning, we have
awarded grants to causes benefiting young
people challenged by abuse, addiction,
homelessness or those who are young carers
to a loved one.

We have four grant programmes:

1. Our project grant programme offers
funding to charities to deliver a project which
will support the young people we prioritise to
fulfil their potential, promote happiness and
enhance their wellbeing. For example,
through our last grant round we awarded
funding to ‘Safe in Sussex’ a refuge housing
mothers and their children escaping domestic
violence and/or sexual abuse to facilitate a
recreational trip for the resident young people
and children.
2. Our shine bright grants fund charities
to to purchase educational or recreational
items (such as books, wellbeing journals,
stress packs, arts and crafts for creative play
therapy etc.) which will help young people
reduce stress and feel happier and more
secure. Our Shine Bright programme differs
from the project programme, in that it will
provide funds for specific ‘things’ – not a
project. This year, our Shine Bright
programme wishes to focus on alleviating the
difficulties faced by children and young
people from the cost of living crisis. For
example, through our last grant round we
awarded age-appropriate play and creative
arts therapy resources for young carers
experiencing issues exacerbated by the cost
of living crisis.
3. We also offer grants to safeguarding
professionals (such as social workers,
lawyers, school outreach officers)
representing a young person in the care or
legal system, in need of some extra help. Our
grants will pay for an activity or item the
young person needs to further their potential
or opportunity, where other routes of funding
are not available. This young person will
either be a survivor of abuse, a young carer,| living with addiction or be at-risk of, or currently homeless. For example, through our last grant round, we provided funding for a young female who was referred to us by a emergency accommodation provider. The young female was 8 months pregnant and had just been connected to social services. Our funding helped the young woman purchase items for her newborn, and also has pledged to cover counselling sessions for when she is ready to engage. 4. This fund is slightly different to our other programmes. We offer grants to charities across the calendar year, aligned to social justice calendar awareness days (such as World Homeless Day). Successful grantees are selected by the7stars agency team members, voting on which charity to be awarded. ## **Additional information (optional)** You may choose to include further statements where relevant about: |Achievements against
