Mental health and bullying is unfortunately a common thing for children and there families throughout the country and due to lack of funding the NHS are rarely able to help in the way needed. And this is where charities and Projects like The Dragonfly Project CIC help fill the empty space the NHS cannot. Unfortunately funding for these charities and Projects are virtually non existent or VERY hard to get. Everyone that is involved in the project do so on a voluntary basis and any profit made goes straight back into Project Dragonfly

Project Dragonfly was founded over 20 years ago by Julie Oakley, but due to financial reasons the project is likely to be close at the end of September 2023. To keep this project alive for at least the rest of 2023 it's estimated to need around £3k and this is why this Just giving has been set up. Please consider helping keep this project alive by donating anything you are able to.
