Story

It’s Almost my 40th birthday and I can’t think of a better charity to receive my support for this special birthday than The Island! 🥳🥳

If you would normally buy me a drink please just donate instead ☺️ I would really appreciate your support thankyou Rachel xx

A perfect storm of a lockdown during a pandemic, a cost of living crisis creating family conflict, disrupted schooling and a big increase in mental health problems among children and young people has seen demand for our services go through the roof.

We want to be there for every child and young person who needs the unique one-to-one support we offer. No child or young person should be left along to cope with feelings of despair. We do not want to turn anyone away.

Raising £50,000 will allow us to provide mentoring programmes for the ever-growing number of high risk vulnerable children and young people immediately.

Please make a donation of any any amount through this campaign.
