Bedford Open Door provide free and confidential counselling to young people aged 13-25, delivered by a team of fully trained, experienced and friendly volunteer counsellors. The counsellors give people the time to explore their feelings so that they can be helped to find a way of working through their difficulties and the charity aim to support young people to work towards living in a happier way and to help them find their strengths.

The pandemic has put a huge strain on many young people who were already struggling with their mental health, because of traumatic experiences, social isolation, a loss of routine and a breakdown in formal and informal support. 

Bedford Open Door are our school charity for the 2020-2021 academic year, but due to the lockdown we are not able to hold fundraising events in school.  Please help us to raise money for Bedford Open Door to continue their brilliant work with young people in Bedfordshire.
