Empowering Youth: Five Lives Raises $1M Seed Round to Expand Life-Saving Workshops

Today, we are thrilled to announce that Five Lives has successfully raised $1,000,000—a significant milestone that reinforces our commitment to transforming youth education on some of society’s most critical issues. At Five Lives, we deliver hard-hitting workshops on drugs, alcohol, and self-harm to secondary schools and partner organisations that work closely with young people. This funding milestone will enable us to expand our reach, refine our curriculum, and create even more impactful sessions that resonate with our audiences. By investing in innovative educational strategies and state-of-the-art resources, we aim to enhance our workshop delivery, ensuring that our messages are not only heard but deeply felt. The infusion of capital will also support the training and recruitment of passionate facilitators, whose real-world insights and compassionate approaches are essential for fostering meaningful dialogue among teenagers. As we navigate this journey, our primary focus remains on providing young people with the knowledge and tools necessary to resist harmful behaviors and make informed choices about their futures. We are excited to use this funding to scale our efforts, reaching more schools and communities than ever before, and to develop tailored programs that address the unique challenges faced by today’s youth. This achievement is not just a financial boost; it is a strong vote of confidence from our investors and supporters, affirming the impact and importance of our work. With this new capital, Five Lives is set to drive significant positive change, empowering the next generation to lead healthier and more informed lives.
