Donate and Support Brightpaths
Your generosity makes it possible for children and young people to access the early, neurodivergent-friendly support they often can’t find elsewhere. Your donations provide free virtual mentoring for those who need it most, reduce costs for families who are already stretched, and create safe spaces where young people can connect, regulate and feel understood.
Whether you’re giving as an individual, a local group, a Trust, a foundation or a business, your support directly impacts the lives of children and families in our community.
BrightPaths CIC cannot receive Gift Aid directly.UK taxpayers wishing to add Gift Aid should donate via our Localgiving (charity) page, which claims Gift Aid and grants funds to us.
Donate HereExamples of What Your Gift Can Do
£5
Helps fund take-home fidgets, sensory tools, and creative resources, from scrapbooks for journaling to CBT workbooks for ongoing support—so every child can keep growing and feeling understood, even after their sessions end.
£50
Funds a whole group session on understanding neurodiversity. Through games, storytelling and creative activities, young people explore their differences, learn to understand others and gain confidence in who they are. It’s a session that could change how they experience school and friendships.
£150
Provides a young person with twelve weeks of one-to-one mentoring for free. Across the term, they get consistent support tailored to them, learning coping strategies, building resilience and developing tools to thrive at home and at school.

Your gifts make a difference
All donations enable more mentoring spaces, fund community workshops and create safe, consistent spaces for young people outside of school. Every gift directly changes a child’s experience of support, understanding and belonging. We also sometimes run crowdfunding campaigns for specific projects. If you’d like to support one of these, you can check out the current campaigns through our social media, where every like, follow, and share helps!
Where your contribution goes
BrightPaths is a non-profit Community Interest Company, which means every penny you give is legally locked into supporting children and young people.
Your contribution goes directly into mentoring, early-intervention support, free and subsidised sessions for families, and the community workshops that so many young people rely on.
Your generosity creates opportunities for children who would otherwise be left waiting, giving them early, neurodivergent-friendly support at the moment they need it most.
Make a Donation via PayPal
Your PayPal donation supports children and young people who need early emotional and neurodivergent-friendly help. Whether it’s a one-off gift or a monthly contribution, your support provides mentoring, resources and safe spaces for children who often can’t access support anywhere else. Every gift matters, and bigger contributions help reach more families who are waiting for help.
Supporting a child can be as simple as sending the tools they need. The wishlist includes items used directly in sessions, workshops and take-home packs, from sensory tools and fidget items to art supplies and emotional regulation resources. Everything you choose goes straight to a child or young person, helping them feel safe, calm and understood.

Volunteering with BrightPaths is about making a real difference. Whether you want to support children directly or contribute your skills behind the scenes, we’d love to hear from you.
We particularly value volunteers who are parents who’ve seen their children struggle with mental health or unmet needs in school, people who understand the challenges young people face fitting into neurotypical norms, or those who have faced challenges themselves and want to turn that experience into positive change.
If you have the passion, time and skills, we can always find a way for you to help and for us to support your growth too.
