10x10 2019 IMPACT REPORT

OUR IMPACT ON CHARITIES 2019
Perhaps the most rewarding moment in every 10x10 campaign is
the follow-up exit survey, when we gather feedback from Partner
Charities on the use-of-funds raised and how this has helped
social needs at the grassroots.
“Funds raised provided lunch for students of
Venice High School and Lawndale High School
for the entire academic year.”
...money raised was used to fund the cost of travel
to get our Liverpool and Birmingham choirs to
London to perform at our Christmas concert - the
highlight of the year for our choir members.
Remaining funds were used for core costs,
enabling us to continue our work running choirs
for homeless and marginalised people in the UK.
“Funding doubled the capability to recruit
88 talented senior students to provide
extra Maths and English tutoring to the
children of very low-income families who
were identified by their teachers as falling
behind - with tutoring, children uplifted
their progress by 1.5 grades!”
“The funds were invested in Young
Doctors for Life project training, teaching
well-being, health leadership, hygiene,
nutrition, health literacy &
environmental health to Aboriginal &
non-Aboriginal health ambassadors in
Kempsey.”
“The funds were used to deliver live music bedside performances
to patients, families and staff at St Vincents Hospital.”
“We're using the Funds to train Dog Trainers to train puppies
& adult dogs in Modern Positive Dog Training methods in the
skilled Assistance Tasks to help with Mental Health Recovery.”
Provided sewing training for women in
Cambodia so they can gain a skill, increase
their income and move out of poverty.
Funds were used to purchase books and
recording devices so that volunteers
could visit and film imprisoned mothers
reading stories especially for their own
children.
Funding helped us break our records in 2019 and we
restored and donated 1,208 bikes (plus helmets, lights
and locks) to refugees who live on extremely low
asylum-seeker support. Without the permission to
work, the freedom to travel makes an enormous
difference … “The bike means to me, freedom!”
