Mental health in children has been steadily on the decline. I had my issues when I was younger and a charity like this may have been a great benefit to me as it has been with one of my children. Every little bit can help a child with some form of therapy. For my son music in mind (music and singing therapy) has helped with his anxiety, but they help children in all types of ways and therapys from Bereavement therapy to mental health.

CHUMS hopes to provide mental health and emotional wellbeing support to as many children and young people across Bedfordshire as we can. Friends of CHUMS currently funds 5 services which include the Bedfordshire Suicide Bereavement Service, Babyloss Service and Recreational Therapeutic Service. Without support from fundraisers and donors CHUMS would not be able to provide support to the children, young people and families who otherwise may not receive help when they need it most.
