We are fundraising for two amazing charities - we'd like to keep donations between the two as equal as possible please!

Penumbra

Penumbra is a charity which is incredibly close to my heart. 💜 I’ve seen first hand the incredible support they provide to people suffering from depression and suicidal thoughts and I would love to be able to raise some money to support their incredible services ✨

Penumbra Mental Health is a pioneering charity providing dedicated services for people with mild to serious and enduring mental ill health. It supports people on their journey to better mental health, by working with each person to find their own way forward.

The power of people’s lived experience enables Penumbra to provide pioneering services which transform lives. From being there for people in crisis to suicide prevention, supported living to self-harm management and peer support.

Richmond's Hope

Richmond’s Hope provides support for children and young people aged 4-18 years who have been bereaved. The charity provides a safe space for children to work through their grief both verbally and non verbally, to preserve memories of the person who has died, to explore their feelings, to develop coping strategies and to understand the impact the bereavement has had on their lives.

As everyone’s grief is different, we provide individual programmes of care for each child. Our dedicated team of bereavement workers support children on a one to one basis.

We are also passionate about educating individuals and groups about the language surrounding grief and offer training and interest visits. The training we offer to external organisations aims to raise awareness of young people’s grief and how it affects their lives.
