Family Minds Enriched
Relate West Surrey know that family life is going through immense pressure financially especially when they are from a low-income household anyway. The whole family is struggling and living hand to mouth and suffering with their mental health. The last thing they want to pay for as it is not high on their priority list is counselling sessions to help improve their mental health, even if it is for the children. Please donate now
Project Overview
Relate West Surrey would like to raise funds for a bursary to help families, parents, individuals, or children. Our counsellor would like to see the family as a whole initially and then may decide to see just the parents as they are having problems with their relationship which is affecting the kids. The counsellor may then want to see the child(ren) as they are suffering at home on top of bullying at school. If it is a single parent they may want to be seen alone by the counsellor.
Through The weekly sessions, everyone will see an improvement in their mental health, feel empowered and in control, and have the strength and positivity to manage their lives better. Evidence shows, that tackling early signs of mental distress can prevent escalation to more serious, chronic mental illnesses if left untreated.
The result is significantly costlier care and specialist crisis support, reliance on powerful medication, and more expensive, long-term interventions within the NHS. Our counselling services can address mental health issues early on, enabling people to use coping strategies and build resilience to support themselves to thrive and reach their utmost potential.
Relate West Surrey are lucky that we have the most highly trained counsellors in our team to help with relationships, and sex problems. We have specialist family counsellors and children and young people counsellors(10-18-year-olds)

In Tune Radio
Young people today can struggle to gain essential workplace life skills due to school systems that some young people find challenging, with rapid changes in technology and a lack of real-world work experience. This project directly addresses a charitable purpose by advancing education, promoting digital inclusion, and fostering the personal development of young people, some of whom may be disadvantaged due to their personal socioeconomic situation. The project provides structured, non-formal learning in media literacy, journalism, technical audio production, and communication. This goes far beyond standard school curricula.
Share Bristol
At Share Bristol our vision is that everybody shares, so we’re making it easier for everyone in Bristol to borrow everyday things they don’t need every day – tools, camping equipment, party kits, games, kitchen gadgets and so much more. We help people to save money, save space in their homes, and live more sustainably, reducing their impact on the environment through our community-led Library of Things.
