Donate to Chickenshed via the Big Give!

Any donation to Chickenshed between 2 - 9 Dec will be DOUBLED.

The Big Give

We’re excited to share that from 2–9 December, every donation made to Chickenshed through The Big Give will be doubled - meaning your support will go twice as far in creating real and lasting community change.

“Being a Young Leader at Chickenshed feels like my first real job, it’s pushed me, prepared me for the future, and given me confidence I didn’t know I had. Being seen as part of the staff team honestly means the world to me”

- Chickenshed Young Leader

Circle of Us

This year’s campaign: Circle of Us

Right now, too many people feel disconnected, unheard or isolated.

  • 1 in 5 young people in the UK experience frequent loneliness.
  • 1.4 million older adults are living in chronic isolation.
  • Neurodivergent individuals continue to face daily barriers to inclusion.

As generational divides widen, the fabric of community weakens. Without action, this cycle of disconnection will only deepen.

Our solution: youth-led creativity that brings people together.

With your help - we will:

  • Train

    Train 60 Young Leaders from diverse backgrounds

  • Support

    Support them to create and deliver 60 inclusive events, performances, workshops and creative experiences

  • Reach

    Reach over 1,000 people of all ages — building confidence, belonging and connection

  • Reduce

    Reduce isolation for young people, older adults and neurodivergent individuals

  • Strengthen

    Strengthen community bonds through shared storytelling and creativity
