Donations to OTR are always super-welcome

One-off and regular donations to OTR are always really gratefully received and you can be sure you’re making a real difference to young people’s lives however much you can afford to give – and however often.

Text to donate

You can very easily donate to OTR by text. Just send “OTRBRISTOL 5” to 70085 to donate £5 to us (you can choose donations between £1 and £20 by changing the ‘5’ accordingly).

If you are planning to collect donations at a fundraising event, please check this page for guidelines. If you want to fundraise or donate to us, please find our JustGiving page here.

Your donations help us to help young people. Here are some examples of how your donations are used:

£5

buys a ‘Wellbeing Pack’, sent as an ongoing support resource to a young person who has attended a group session

£20

buys a one-to-one therapeutic session for a young person - that could be counselling, an LGBTQ+ specific therapeutic session, or a therapeutic session in nature via Nature Works

£30

allows us to deliver a school assembly, reaching hundreds of young people at a time to encourage literacy around wellbeing and signpost to appropriate support

£75

pays for a guest speaker to host a Freedom workshop, to share experiences with young people at OTR who are questioning their sexuality and/or gender

£150

allows us to run an OTR Hub; a drop-in where young people can meet OTR for the first time, learn about the various support services available across the region, and take part in wellbeing activities and workshops

£500

enables us to host a five-week Zazi group, exploring masculinity and mental health in communities experiencing racial inequality

Your regular monthly donations are very important to us. In uncertain times they help us plan ahead, support more young people and diversify our offer. Thanks to your recurring monthly support we can help more young people thrive.

Thank you for all your kind support!

Thank you for helping me get through the lockdown. Your help meant the world!

It’s been an incredible way to turn my negative experiences into positive change.

Thank you for helping me through my cloud of worry and providing me with the tools for clarity and awesomeness.

I now am happier than I've ever been before and am so much more confident. Special thank you to my art therapist for helping me.
