A Huge Thank You to Our Incredible Gravesham Community!
We are truly thankful to everyone who has been involved in this crucial initiative, ensuring our young people have rapid access to the mental health support they need. By defying the broader trends in the UK, your exceptional support has empowered us as a community to meet the growing demand as it continues.
Thanks to your generosity, we’ve been there for 172 young people throughout 2024. Christmas can be an especially tough time for many, indeed, since last month, 38 young people have referred themselves to us for support.
EHMF finishes the year on a highly emotional note, winning UK Benefact Group’s UK Local Heroes Award for ‘Best Local Community Initiative’. The award is for you the Gravesham Community in recognition of your incredible support; the £5,000 winning prize will fund 100 counselling sessions in 2025 – a fantastic boost to our funds.
A huge thank you to:
✨ Our dedicated team of volunteers, including the fantastic quizmasters, Simon and James
✨ Local businesses, clubs, organisations, and individuals
✨ The Kent Police and Kent Fire and Rescue teams
✨ Gravesham schools and the students for their fundraising efforts
✨ Donors of raffle prizes and those who laid on their own events
✨ The community admins for helping us reach the Gravesham community
✨ And of course, our incredible team of counsellors who have risen to the challenge
We wish you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! Keep an eye out for our 2024 video review, coming early in January. 🎄💙
