Testimonials
The difference your support makes
“We’re one big family all together. New memories and new beginnings”
Caxton provides huge help to us all. The service makes a real big difference and he absolutely loves attending. It has given him his own independence away from us.
I feel more confident talking to people – I feel my job is important and I am making a difference. I feel proud of myself. My mum is also proud of me.
Caxton Youth Accumulator Challenge
FAQ’s
Can each team recruit helpers/volunteers for example if running a family fun day?
Yes! We encourage it.
Can teams supplement the £50 loan?
No but we would encourage you to reinvest any profits made to continue to grow your fundraising total.
Why would you recommend paying our fundraising proceeds into Big Give portal and not directly?
Every year Caxton Youth take part in the Big Give campaign, a week when all donations of up to £5,000 are doubled, so your fundraising total could double the amount of money raised for Caxton Youth! This year’s campaign runs from Midday on Tuesday December 1st to Midday on Tuesday December 8th. Match funding is limited to the first £5,000 of donations.
When does the challenge run?
Between September 1st and November 30th, 2026.
Will there be a chance to meet with other participants?
We are already excited to host the Caxton Youth Accumulator Challenge Awards night in January.
How much time will taking part require?
The challenge is designed to fit around your normal working day, teams can choose fundraising activities that work for them.
Do we need to repay the £50 loan?
Yes, at the end of the challenge all teams must return the £50 loan and this will be deducted from your fundraising total.
What type of fundraising activities can we do?
As long as activities are safe, legal, and align with Caxton Youth’s values, we encourage creativity.
If you are unsure please get in touch so we can help.
Case study
Kaleb’s* Caxton Journey, as told by his Mum:
“When we first came to Caxton I thought, this is exciting, this is great, this is an adventure! It was always excitement – he never came bored from you.
He came once a week to Caxton, every Wednesday evening. It was a blessing to know that his dad and I had some time to ourselves, and that was nice. It was a respite.
Kaleb loved going bowling, baking, doing art in sessions. Going to the cinema. He enjoyed the computer corner and Caxton’s sometimes held a disco. I remember he went to Wicked the Musical with Caxton. He loved it – he still talks about it.
I think he got on very well with Floyd. When I collected him or dropped him at the minibus you could see that they were getting on very well, Floyd reacting to him and him reacting to Floyd. I wouldn’t say a match made in heaven but…somewhere close to it!
I think developmentally the youth workers really helped him a lot.
I think he learnt to understand a lot more about people at Caxton. Apart from school, it was his only interaction with other children or young people. When he was at home, he never really used to leave to meet other young people, hardly ever. But with Caxton, we got the feeling he was interested to go there, and he met other people. He got that at Caxton.
Caxton has made a lasting difference in Kaleb’s life; meeting people, understanding everybody is unique, understanding about the different needs of other people, nobody’s perfect and we are who we are and what we are. Accepting other people, tolerance, communication wise, you definitely helped his curiosity. He had some extra experiences he otherwise wouldn’t have had with the trips, we don’t do any disco at home!”
