Get Involved!
If you’re passionate about the importance of mental health, help us to continue our vital work. We couldn’t do what we do without the generous support of people like you!
The Impact of your Support
Our Island community will always be at the heart of what we do. We rely entirely on the generous support of our community and every penny donated to us stays on the Isle of Man. As we look to the future, our incredible fundraisers and supporters are vital to developing our “Stop the stigma” campaign, enabling us to maintain our early intervention offering, and supporting emotional resilience education for young people across the Isle of Man.
We know how important it is to have access to vital early intervention mental health and provide our therapeutic support completely free of charge to those who need us. But did you know for every hour of therapeutic support we provide, our charity has to fundraise £135?
Your donations make a real and lasting difference.
Helps provide therapeutic aids and materials used in one primary school session by our Art Therapists, to support the delivery of mental health topics and build emotional resilience.
Gives one young person the opportunity to access our Listening Service in school to talk about feelings they’re finding difficult to manage such as bullying or exam stress.
Supports the delivery of a one day school holiday activity session for children focusing on confidence building and self-esteem.
