In memory of Katie Taylor (Corrigan)
The Sowenna Appeal is raising money for equipment and therapeutic programmes that go above what the NHS provides, to aid activities which will have a positive impact on the health, wellbeing and recovery of children and young people in Cornwall.

Story

It is no secret that Katie suffered with her mental health.  It is also no secret that Cornwall does not have enough services to help support those dealing with mental health. 

We believe this charity can make a difference to young people and give them a chance to live a full and happy life. 

Please see their story below:

It is estimated that 1 in 8 young people aged between 5 and 19 have a mental disorder. Most can be treated within the community, but some require a more intensive programme of treatment and care.Some of Cornwalls most ill and vulnerable young people have been sent hundreds of miles away from their family and friends to access psychiatric treatment. We are delighted that these young people can now be supported much closer to home at Sowenna, an NHS mental health unit in Bodmin run by Cornwall Partnership NHS Foundation Trust. The unit provides inpatient treatment for young people aged 13-18.The Sowenna Appeal is raising money for equipment and therapeutic programmes that go above and beyond what the NHS provides. These will aid activities which will have a positive impact on the health, wellbeing and recovery of children and young people in Cornwall such as sports equipment; therapeutic gardens; art, music and cooking equipment; parental accommodation, a minibus and a visitor cafe.
