£0 remaining for six Skate of Mind sessions
J has faced significant mental health challenges throughout his life, which have caused him to experience homelessness. Skating has helped him to break free from isolation, but also allowed him to connect with others who understand his struggles. Skate of Mind combines counselling with skating sessions and has been a beacon of hope for him. This is a second request for six more sessions. J has now gained opportunities to peruse his passion for music. Since working with Skate of Mind, they have linked him with Amplify, which has opened many more doors for him. He uses his sessions to regulate his emotions and looks forward to them. J now skateboards on his down days, which is a working, coping mechanism for him, and he comes back buzzing from his sessions. Skate of Mind has helped him build his confidence massively.
K came out of an abusive relationship which then made her homeless and she had to leave her children behind. She now has a home, is seeing her children and has worked with us for the past ten months to rebuild her confidence and prepare herself for work. K has completed some work experience which went amazingly, and is now ready for interviews, but unfortunately has a lack of funds for this. K needs tops, trousers, shoes and a coat for those wet days, so these funds would help a great deal.
This young woman, who is autistic and also suffers from clinical post traumatic stress disorder, receives Universal Credit and is applying for personal Independence Payment. She has recently been given a house so she can live independently, although family are close by. There are no carpets in the house so it is very echoey. This does not help this young woman's sensory overload and she finds it quite distressing. Her mum has sourced a lounge carpet plus fitting. Can you please help her get the carpet she needs?
