Story

Over the past year the number of calls to our helpline has increased exponentially. Covid 19 and lockdown has had a huge impact on peoples mental health. Many parents and people with ADHD have struggled with isolation, lack of outdoor activities, general parenting and lack of much needed support.

Over the next few months we will be increasing capacity on the helpline and offering online calls and services. However we are currently in a large open plan office which makes it difficult for our helpline staff.

We need your help to raise the funds to purchase accoustic room dividers so our staff can work in a safe and comfortable environment and respond to calls, deliver workshops and fsacilitate online support groups.

We thank you in advance for your help. If you wish to create your own fundraisers you can do this and link to this fundraising page tohelp us reach our target.
