Hayle Youth Project (HYP) is a small youth project based in West Cornwall, working to help disadvantaged young people in the area through various services including mentoring, breakfast club and open youth sessions. We work with those young people most at risk of social exclusion and facing multiple barriers.
YMCA Manchester is a registered charity. Our charitable aims have been delivered through various youth and community programmes since our inception as well as the YClub, a sports and leisure facility. We reach out to individuals and communities experiencing the most disadvantage in terms health and access to facilities, with an emphasis on children and young people and their mental health and wellbeing.
The Friends of Hungerford Primary School is a charitable organisation formed by parents, which supports Hungerford Primary School to provide the best educational experience for our children. We work with the school to provide support, both financial and practical. We fund-raise, make grant applications and try to find skilled individuals to help us.
PROMISEworks provides long term volunteer mentoring to children and young people in Somerset.
So often we see young people who due to early trauma from domestic/physical, sexual or emotional abuse are unable to move forward with their lives, or even imagine a future for themselves. When this occurs, we are able to offer a form of coaching which can make a difference to the way a young person thinks and feels and helps them to better manage their emotions - in short to retrain their brains.
We really appreciate our first grant from The Pixel Fund which will help to fund specialist 1:1 support within the well-established CHUMS Trauma Service. This vital service in Bedfordshire receives no statutory income, but supports children and young people (CYP) who have been traumatically bereaved as a result of murder, suicide, other multiple or sudden deaths in the family, have suffered sexual abuse or have been witness to domestic violence, or suffered any other trauma.
We work with children and young people in a whole range of circumstances - anxiety, self-harm, trauma and abuse, relationship issues, or those who are worried and finding it hard to share their feelings. Increasingly we are working with children and young people who have been victims of sexual abuse/violence and bullying for whom there is no adequate statutory provision of support to help them.
We are a Chester based charity that offers counselling and play therapy support to families- adults, children and young people living in relative poverty who are experiencing mental health issues. We focus on strengthening family relationships and creating more stable and nurturing environments for children, recognising that a child's mental health is affected not only by past hurts and traumas, but also by the overall mental health and well-being of their parents or carers.
The Listening Place is incredibly grateful to the trustees of The Pixel Fund for choosing to support our work with young people. There has been a worrying increase in the number of young people taking their own life or feeling suicidal and the economic and social fallout from Coronavirus will provide further specific challenges for young people.
We are so grateful to the Trustees of the Pixel Fund for their support of our work supporting families who are caring for a seriously ill child. When a child is diagnosed with a terminal illness, family life is turned upside down and their lives are changed forever. Rainbow Trust supports families through this crisis, pairing each family with a dedicated Family Support Worker to provide practical and emotional support to help them cope with each new day.
