DONATE NOW

To give over 100 primary school children across Northamptonshire the chance to thrive — to feel confident, connected, and capable of shaping their future — through 18 transformational TRUST for Children courses delivered by New Leaf Learning.
By raising £45,000, we’ll ensure every participating school in 2026 can access these courses at a subsidised rate, keeping wellbeing, leadership, and resilience at the heart of every classroom.
The true cost to run each New Leaf Learning course is £3,500 but we keep it accessible through charitable support.
Currently, schools pay £995, with the remainder subsidised by grants and donations.
This means we need to raise £2,505 per course to continue offering this life-changing programme to children who need it most.
To bridge the gap, we need to raise £45,090 by the end of 2026.
When schools join a New Leaf course, we see remarkable change:
- Children gain confidence, empathy, and motivation to learn.
- Teachers reconnect with their purpose and wellbeing.
- Schools strengthen community, collaboration, and belonging.
““Back in October my 8 year old daughter began to show visible signs of emotional distress just by going to school. It was a really difficult and challenging time for us all as a family whilst we tried to navigate her reluctance for school and being around people again.
Now in her 5th and final week on the TRUST programme, the change in her is a miracle. We've had no panic attacks or uncontrollable crying through genuine fear before school each morning and she's spending more and more time now in the classroom.”
— Parent, 2025 participant
Your support will make 2026 a year of new beginnings for schools across the country. Together, we can ensure every school that wants to take part can afford to — and every child can discover what’s possible when they feel seen, supported, and inspired.
👉 Donate today and help us raise £45,090 to keep New Leaf Learning thriving in 2026.

Push Your Limits, Change Lives

Meet Tony Hopkin, a Brackley local who set a new Guinness World Record for the longest single-event triathlon — an incredible 515.91 km of swimming, cycling, and running completed in just over 38 hours!

Tony’s challenge wasn’t just about endurance — it was about making a difference. Inspired by the impact New Leaf Learning has had on his autistic son, Tony took on this monumental feat to raise over £6,100 for our programmes supporting children with learning differences through outdoor, nature-based education.

“They gave my son the tools to manage stress and build confidence. I believe this kind of support should be available to every child who needs it.” – Tony Hopkin
