Story

1 in 4 people suffer with Mental Health. Majority of people at some point in their lives will suffer with Mental Health which can be brought on by a variety of things such as bereavement, breakdown in relationships, life changes; the list is endless. It can effect anyone, at any age at any point in their lives. 

I’ve gone through this journey myself and now want to help raise awareness of Mental Health; helping in changing the stigma so more people can gain the courage to reach out for support. When people reach out for support from friends/family they may not understand, become drained, not know what to do which is normal. I think it’s so important that there are resources out there to help educate friends/ family how to support a loved one who may be suffering with their Mental Health.  

Your not alone. Please reach out if your struggling. Don’t suffer in silence.  You never know what someone is going through and just a smile can make such a difference. It’s the small things that can make such a difference in Mental Health. 

I never thought I’d be doing a Sky Dive! This is something I’ve been wanting to do for a while but kept putting it off. Not only will this be a challenge to conquer my fears but to raise money for a Mental Health Charity who are saving lives everyday and making a difference to peoples lives. I can’t imagine what the world would be like without Mental Health facilities like the CFC! 

Thanks for your donations in helping the CFC to continue saving lives and supporting those with Mental Health.

We provide counselling, support groups, drop in sessions & courses for all in our community from the age of 5 years and upwards who need support for their mental and emotional health needs. No complicated restrictive referrals, no prior form filling, no huge financial barrier - simply come & tell us your story & we will do our utmost to provide appropriate timely support. We work mainly in the Trafford Borough of Manchester, but are spreading into Manchester & Salford to meet the needs of those who are being hit by the squeeze on services being felt across the country. Some quotes from our children's service: 'Feeling happier & less anxious. My relationship has changed for the better with my mum. It’s been really good & really helpful' 'I'm meditating every night. I don’t self-harm (five weeks clean!) & I’m a lot happier with my parents & family. I’m less panicky too. I’m happier in myself & being even more open to others. I talk more & have a more positive attitude & have more energy. You have really helped! I was really reluctant to come but I love it & it turned my world upside down'. 'I made friends with Y3 as no-one from Y4 would play with me. Now I have lots of friends, not just Y4. I’ve been kind & generous to others. I share with others. It’s been fun & I’ve learnt new things.
