Your Support Matters

The Walden Shed exists because turning away from young people who are struggling is not working. Early, relational, community-based support is needed to reduce risk and rebuild connection.

We are intentionally in a careful and considered phase of development, focusing on ensuring delivery is safe, sustainable, and built to last. Your support — in whatever form — helps us continue this important work.

Ways to Support

Financial Support

Financial contributions help us cover essential costs, from materials for activities to safeguarding training. Every contribution, no matter the size, makes a difference.

In-Kind Donations

We welcome donations of tools, materials, equipment, and supplies that can be used in our hands-on activities with young people.

Corporate Support

Businesses can support us through sponsorship, employee volunteering schemes, or providing goods and services.

Fundraising

Organise your own fundraising event or activity to raise money for The Walden Shed. We can provide support and materials.

Spread the Word

Tell people about our work. Share our story with friends, family, and colleagues. Follow us on social media and share our posts.

Professional Skills

Do you have professional skills that could help us? Marketing, accounting, legal advice, web design — pro bono support is always welcome.

What Your Support Does

Your support helps us provide:

  • Materials and equipment for practical, hands-on activities
  • Safeguarding training for staff, volunteers, and community partners
  • DBS checks for everyone working with young people
  • Insurance to keep everyone safe during activities
  • Safe spaces where young people can learn and grow
  • Pathways to work experience and employment opportunities

Most importantly, your support helps us be there consistently for young people who need someone to believe in them.
