The Talk About Trust has to raise £350,000 annually to support the production of its free award-winning school resources, to employ its regionally based specialist trainers who work with parents, teachers and community leaders and to develop and maintain the digital and game-based online platforms for young people, parents and professionals.

Individual donors

You can support your local school with our award-winning Talk About Trust resource for just £99, or fund a youth awareness session or training of youth leaders at your sports or youth club for £180, making a huge difference at community level in reducing children’s risk taking. If you cycle, run, hold coffee mornings or book sales, please think of us as a worthy cause. To learn more or for marketing resources, please email

Key sponsor

The Talk About Trust resources are used in schools, youth and sports clubs across the UK, reaching an estimated 500,000 children and 13,000 teachers and youth professionals each year. There were 110,000 active users on our youth facing websites talkaboutalcohol.com and life-stuff.org, and our resource site for teachers and youth professionals, talkabouttrust.org. Organisations such as youth and sports clubs use our resources too. The right sponsor could help ensure that our resources remain available to our key users free of charge and, if appropriate, raise awareness of their goods or services to a broad audience. Please do contact us via helena@talkabouttrust.org

Corporate partners

We welcome responsible corporate partners who wish to improve the health and wellbeing of children locally or across Britain. The Talk About Trust programmes are used in over 5,000 schools and organisations and can demonstrate evidence of impact, behaviour change, fidelity, sustainability and value for money. Please invite us to make a presentation by emailing helena@talkabouttrust.org

Ambassador or mentor

As a small charity of just eleven part time staff with such a broad remit we welcome and need ambassadors and mentors to guide and support our work, from joining our Board of Trustees or our advisory group of RSHE leads, school nurses and medical specialists, to becoming a Director of our trading arm.
