I am mainly motivated by the idea of failure and the consequences that this would lead to, for example with A levels if I don't revise then I won't go to university, or with this project if we weren't organised then the charity wouldn't receive any help.

I am very passionate about helping people and being able to make a positive impact on peoples lives.

I think it's wrong that people tend to blame young mothers that aren't in a position where they can care for a child for getting pregnant, but the fathers don't face the same negative backlash.

In our local community there are a large amount of young mothers in need of assistance, and therefore my group and I want to be aid them.

We have chose a charity which helps mothers that are in a situation where they are unable to properly support their young babies due to financial or domestic situations.

Why have we chose to address our chosen issue?

# data[].attributes.body
We have chosen to aid mothers in need of assistance due to the fact that we believe that all children should get a fair start in life, and therefore these women need assistance so that their babies can get the care that they need and deserve.

The charity gave us a card that they had received from a mother that they helped due to donations, and this showed us how huge the impact was on her life, and therefore how much of an impact there had been on her child's life due to donations. After hearing about this we were motivated to collect and raise as much as we could so that we could help more families.

Through our cake sale we were able to raise £118.20, and following our assembly we received a huge amount of donations. The assembly also helped to raise an awareness for the charity and the cause that they are working for.

What skills have you developed from and through this project?

I have learnt communication, as I have had to contact the representative from the charity as well as speaking in assembly. I have learnt problem solving through having to decide when would be best to hold the events so that we could have the biggest impact. The 3rd skill that I have learnt is how to work in a team, because it was important to work well together and come to decisions as a group and to be able to compromise for the good of the charity.

We had to choose a time when the most people would be at school, so a time when no year group was away on a residential trip or on study leave. Therefore we decided that it would be best do use the spring term and collect donations up until the end of the year, so that anyone that might want to donate but didn't have time to get anything would have a larger amount of time to bring their donations in. This worked well as we can see from the amount of donations we received.

We are holding a bake sale and we are doing an assembly where a rep from our charity is coming in to talk about the charity, and then we are asking for donations. We are putting a collection box in the staff corridor for donations to be put in, and then we are organising for the charity rep to come and collect these.

I am basing my belief that this was a successful project off of the huge response that we had, through people donating both money and useful objects, as well as how through doing an assembly where a representative from the charity came in we were able to raise awareness for them.
