Reflections From The Den

“Being able to give back to the very generation that made us who we are was a big achievement for us.

The Charity Den taught us to stay consistent, have a clear timeline, and to not give up when challenges approach. It certainly helped us gain self-esteem and confidence talking to all ages.

Thank you so much for this opportunity; it has helped us to see today’s society in a better light.”

— Akua, Alishia and Huseyin

“The Charity Den has allowed us to make a meaningful change and impact the world for the better.

We gained valuable experience in areas we were less familiar with, formed links with businesses, and had discussions with fellow charities.

If you have an idea, a passion or even just a desire for change, taking part in The Charity Den is undoubtedly the thing to do – you won’t regret it.”

— Madeleine and Matilda

  • Thanks to KICK's generous funding, our Year 12 group was able to bring the activity to life at school! Their support empowered them to turn their ideas into reality and learn valuable entrepreneurial skills along the way. We are grateful to KICK for their belief in young talent and for helping us create a memorable experience for our school community

  • Our students have really enjoyed engaging with KICK, which has given them the opportunity to consider ways to enhance their school community and work as a team to win funding to make the desired change. The process is a powerful learning experience for the students, helping them to develop many key skills, with application in the workplace.

  • Working with KICK on Charity Den projects this year has been a great experience, both for the students participating and for me as the supervising staff member. Working on their proposals and pitch, the students gained valuable experience in project management, and in professional stakeholder communication - skills I am sure they could benefit from further on in their professional life.
