Donate to our charity appeal here
The Guardian’s 2025 charity appeal theme has been about hope: practical and inspiring grassroots voluntary projects that encourage community pride, tolerance and unity as a positive and joyful antidote to polarisation, racism and hatred.
We aim to raise £1m for our five partner charities. Donations are now just over £900,000. The appeal closes at midnight on Wednesday evening.
“When they meet, share stories and learn together, they build empathy and understanding that lasts a lifetime,” Linda Cowie and Meg Grant said of the children who participate in the schools linking network they help run.
