Derry Youtuber raises £5,000 for Nexus NI

To celebrate, he asked his subscribers to donate to the sexual trauma charity Nexus NI.

Adam said, “Nexus came to my attention back in 2019 when I contacted them for help and support during a project about the #MeToo movement. They graciously helped my student project and educated me so much and I never forgot their help. In celebrating hitting 200,000 subscribers on YouTube, I knew my dedicated caring audience would listen and appreciate the work Nexus provides…and they did! Within days my audience, whom I call my ‘muckers’ raised over £4,000 and with my donation of £1,000 topped over £5,000 for Nexus. This is only the start, and I cannot wait to continue using my platform to help give more voice to Derry charities who are doing so much.”

Karen Dunlop-Wainwright, fundraising and engagement officer at Nexus said, “On behalf of Nexus, I’d like to say a huge thank you to Adam for thinking of Nexus and helping to profile our cause to his audience. Our campaign #breakthesilence is helping to break down the barriers that prevent victims and survivors from speaking out about sexual trauma and letting anyone affected know that help is available. Adam’s support has been wonderful in helping us do just that, as well as raising this incredible sum to help fund our counselling services”.

Nexus will use the funds to provide vital counselling work to victims and survivors of sexual trauma.
