The Youth Counselling project
Know a bid writer?
The Youth Counselling Project is in urgent need of a bid writer to help the charity raise funds to pay for more than 60 school students a year to receive much-needed therapy delivered by appropriately trained counsellors. We have ample proof of how well supported by the town The Youth Counselling Project is, with £7,000 being raised locally last year; but this sum is only a fraction of the whole amount needed in order to offer ten sessions of therapy to each child, some of whom are as young as eight years old. The disturbing fact is that according to the Director of Public Health for East Sussex, 11% of boys and 8% of girls aged five to 16 have a clinically significant mental health problem. It is for this reason that The Youth Counselling Project was set up to provide school-based counselling by specialist counsellors trained to work with young people and their particular needs. When The Youth Counselling Project began it was as a pilot project based at Seaford Head School, but three years down the line the town’s primary schools are also involved, with therapists supporting several young pupils. If you think you fit the bid-writing bill, or know someone with the necessary skills, please get in touch via www.tycp.org.uk.
Bingo Night
One of The Youth Counselling Project’s most helpful organisations is Martello Rotary which will be running a Bingo Night for us at Cradle Hill School on Friday 24th April. Seaford Head, Cradle Hill and Chyngton primary
schools are also raising money for the project this year, along with the Mayor, Cllr Nazish Adil, through her charity fund, Seaford Community Cinema and the Coop. Every little counts and if you are able to hold a fundraiser, however big or small, it would be so appreciated. Again, go to www.tycop.org.uk for more info.
