CAP is set up in memory of my 12 year old daughter, Charley-Ann Patterson. Charley suffered since starting year 7 at the hands of bullies, and despite asking for help, that help did not come quick enough for Charley. Sadly she took her own life on 1st October 2020.
As Charley's family we do not wish that any other child feels that suicide is their only option. This is why we have set up CAP.
The aim of CAP is to give young people a place to come and relax in a safe and secure place designed just for them.
CAP is a youth center with a difference. There will be a safe place for the young people to come and talk about any issues they face. Sometimes its easier to talk to an every day person who does not have a professional title and is not their own parents! Everything will be paid for by the charity, all the entertainment, games etc, the only chargeable thing will be the tuck shop. Its a chance for them to just be themselves.
