Joanne's fundraiser for In Charley's Memory

Who are In Charley's Memory?
In Charley's Memory are an award winning grassroots mental health charity providing 1:1 counselling support for anyone aged 11+. They are located in Highbridge, Somerset but support people from all over the county. But they don't support anyone outside the county who are happy to travel to their office.
ICM are considered one of the county's leading providers for mental health services and they are routinely supporting clients who are referred there by all of the local GP surgeries, NHS services, prison service Social Services and more!
However, they receive no funding from the government to continue to support the work of the NHS an estimated £737,000 by providing the 1:1 unlimited support they they supply. Their excellent service means that they are facing increasing demand for their service and as a result, their youngest clients are facing long waiting lists for support.
This service is vital for the people that they support, I have made numerous referrals for the young people that I work with; and having been supported by ICM myself for the past 6 months, I can vouch for this invaluable service and cannot speak highly enough of the counsellors. Funding is needed in order for ICM to continue their amazing work. I have not run for the past year, so this half will be no mean feat! I would really appreciate any donation, no matter how small.
