Annual video review 2024

72 young people supported. Winner of the Benefact Group UK Charity Heroes Award for ‘Best Local Community Initiative’. Two BBC News reports and a Rotary International Honour. 2024 has been quite a year!

A huge thank you to our dedicated Counsellors, Gravesham Schools, Kent Police, Kent Fire and Rescue Service, our Leisure Centres, and all the clubs, organisations and individuals who’ve played a part in bringing this unique and critical initiative to life. We rely almost entirely on community-driven events and donations to sustain our work.

Here are a few key statistics from 2024 that underscore the importance of our collective efforts:

  • 172 Young people supported
  • 6 days Average time referral to counsellor
  • 92% attendance rate
  • 70% of young people referred to us were assessed as suffering from either ‘moderate to severe’ or ‘severe’ psychological distress.
  • 23% were not known to the school they attend
  • 5% were not known to their school or Parent/Guardian.
