Friends of Hungerford Primary School

Friends of Hungerford Primary School

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

PROMISEworks

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.

CHUMS Trauma Service

CHUMS Trauma Service

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.

Gloucestershire Counselling Service

Gloucestershire Counselling Service

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.

Platform for Life

Platform for Life

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.

Freedom from Torture

Freedom from Torture

In October 2019, Freedom from Torture received a grant of £5,000 from the Pixel Fund. We used this grant to help provide a range of services for 107 children and young people who have been affected by torture. The grant helped us to provide: family therapy, individual psychological therapy, therapy groups, and social work.

The Listening Place

The Listening Place

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.

Psychotherapy for young people

Psychotherapy for young people

The Guild of Psychotherapists is providing weekly in-depth 1:1 psychoanalytic psychotherapy for young people (aged 18-25) living in Lambeth, Lewisham and Southwark struggling with mental health issues such as anxiety, depression, OCD, eating disorders, and self-harm.

Rainbow Trust Children's Charity

Rainbow Trust Children's Charity

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.

Mary Dolly Foundation

Mary Dolly Foundation

We will be providing individual therapy sessions specifically to children and young people from ages 5-18 who have experienced poverty, neglect, emotional, physical and/or sexual abuse, violence, aggression, trauma or self-harm. The therapy sessions will prevent negative behaviours becoming pathological.
