As Patsy marks a milestone birthday, she has requested that anyone who wants to kindly mark the occasion makes a charitable donation to Off Centre rather than buying gifts. 

Patsy established Off Centre in 1974 and worked with a team of incredible colleagues to offer counselling and advice sessions to children and young people in difficulty, many of whom had been in local authority care. 

45 years later, Off Centre is still providing pivotal support services to the young people of Hackney.  Now under the umbrella of Family Action, which is working to provide stability in an ever changing financial climate, the charity supports hundreds of people annually.  

Tying in with another of Patsy's loves, all funds raised will go towards Off Centre's art therapy services - through group work and 1-2-1 counselling support. 

Donating through JustGiving is simple, fast and totally secure. Your details are safe with JustGiving - they'll never sell them on or send unwanted emails. Once you donate, they'll send your money directly to the charity. So it's the most efficient way to donate - saving time and cutting costs for the charity.
