The provision is of psychotherapy and counselling to highly traumatised refugees and asylum seekers is in great demand and under-resourced. TFSW provides a space of listening, witnessing and support over months and years to help their traumatised clients find a life that has meaning as well as surviving specific symptoms of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) such as bodily pain, flashbacks, nightmares and sleeplessness. It also provide an art therapy group with a trained art therapist and supervision to many refugee charities.
I will master of ceremonies at their major fundraising event on October 13th in Bristol and will end the event by reciting from heart Prospero's Epilogue from Shakespeare's Tempest, a poem ending many years of his Exile.
Every pound makes a big difference to sustaining this important work, as they need to raise £65,000 a year, so I am seeing if I can raise £5,000 towards that. The epilogue has 22 lines - so if you are unwaged £1 a line will be £22 for the Charity, if you have a reasonable salary £10 a line would be £220 and if you are highly paid £20 a line would be £440.
