Story

In April 2024 our amazing #TeamEikon runners will be taking on 26.2 miles in the London Marathon to raise funds to help children and young people in Surrey.

Eikon provides vital support to young people in Surrey who are experiencing early signs of poor emotional wellbeing or mental health. Your support will help give young people somewhere to turn when they are struggling with a range of serious challenges, such as experiencing anxiety, loneliness, family loss, or being the target of bullying or abuse.

By providing a safe place for young people to share and understand whatever they are worried about, Eikon helps prevent unnecessary harm and even saves lives. In partnership with schools, communities, health & social care and other organisations, Eikon supports young people to feel supported and respond positively to life's challenges and thrive.

What can your fundraising achieve?

£100 can help provide a lunch club for a group of students. This can be the first time a young carer feels they can relax and have fun with their peers.

£50 can help give a child confidential time with an Eikon practitioner. These sessions can be the first time a young person feels safe enough to open up about what's worrying them.

£25 can help a young person feel less anxious and more prepared to start secondary school through our workshops.

I would describe Eikon as a place where there is no judgement and a place where you can be yourself.

Thank you so so much for helping me. Every day that I am here on this earth is thanks to you.

When you listen to me, it makes me feel accepted, understood, important, valued and validated. It gives me a voice to help me find myself again. It reminds me that I am not invisible or alone.

I'm so thankful that my son has had some space to talk through what’s going on and find understanding.
