The campaign has now expired but it's not too late to support this charity.
Visit the charity's profileWhile coronavirus means we can't help our students face-to-face, we're still working hard to support them with their well-being, education and social re-engagement online.
During the new challenges of the lockdown our vulnerable students need extra support, and we want to offer them extra therapy sessions to help quell their fears and maintain a sense of normality. They've made such great progress during their time with us, that we'd hate to see that slip away. We need your help so they can continue to thrive.
Becca has been feeling very anxious and overwhelmed. She's got a medical condition which puts her at risk, under the 'vulnerable' stay at home for 12 weeks category. Her sleep has deteriorated and she struggles with hearing and reading news about the coronavirus.
Our incredible team of teachers, mentors and therapists have been working hard to ensure students get all the personalised support they'd usually receive via face-to-face sessions, online instead.
Online lessons have been vital in providing routine for our daughter amidst all the uncertainty, and her lessons have become more wellbeing focused to support her current needs.
It costs just £40 to offer a student a one-to-one therapy session, run by therapists who know them well.
Please ...donate today and help traumatised and bullied young people get their education and their lives back on track, despite the lockdown.
