Appeal: Help a disabled young person to shine this Christmas

Give your Christmas gift today and help a student like Aiden shine

Published Friday 22 November 2025

Your gift could help a student like Aiden to shine, so they can achieve their aspirations.

“I know Aiden through my role as manager of student wellbeing services at Orpheus, and through helping him set up a film club. He loves film making and wanted to share the joy with other students.

As he told me, “I can make films and I’m very skilled at using different editing software.” He’s really enjoying the nurturing and creative learning environment here. – Alex Gordon, Curriculum Manager

 

Your Christmas gift could mean we can keep providing wellbeing support for Aiden and any Orpheus student in
need.

Through support like one-to-one counselling, music therapy, or fun and sociable lunch groups, you could help a student cope with painful experiences and emotions.

Wellbeing support makes such a difference to helping students get the most from their time here, and gain the skills they need to live as independently as possible and pursue their chosen careers.

 

We can’t offer this crucial support without kind people like you. Will you give your Christmas gift today and help a young person like Aiden to shine?
