The Cogwheel Trust

YTD Raised: £820.00Cogwheel was set up 24 years ago and since 1988 has successfully provided counselling and psychotherapy support for people in Cambridgeshire living on limited financial resources who cannot easily access counselling services. 1 in 4 people will suffer from mental health problems in the course of a year. Mixed anxiety and depression is the most common mental disorder in Britain. This may be as a result of a traumatic situation but sometimes the causes are less easily identified. Cogwheel is able to provide the early intervention which is shown by research be to be the most effective solution and prevents more complex health and social needs from developing, whatever the cause or reason for the disorder. Cogwheel has a large team of trained counsellors experienced in various psychotherapeutic disciplines and techniques. All counsellors receive regular supervision to ensure best practice. Our counsellors give their time on a voluntary basis or at subsidised rates so we are able to bring help to substantial numbers of people. In 2011 we provided approximately 3600 counselling sessions to vulnerable people in Cambridgeshire, 50% of whom were referred to us by their GPs. Even though participants are on limited incomes we do ask them to make a donation, whatever they feel able to give. This encourages participants to commit to attending sessions and to engage with the support made available. We have counselling rooms in a number of locations throughout Cambridgeshire.

Life Centre
(UK, 1127779) Browse events
YTD Raised: £777.00Lifecentre is a Sussex based charity providing help to child and adult survivors of rape and sexual abuse and their families. A quarter of those we help are under 18, the youngest just 5 years old. Sexual abuse has a devastating effect on lives. Over half of our clients think regularly of suicide; two thirds are depressed. A significant number self harm or over-eat in an attempt to make themselves less attractive; others turn to drugs or alcohol to block out painful memories. Not surprisingly normal daily routines become difficult or impossible. There are no quick fixes, but healing does come with expert help and time. We see survivors able to sleep again, returning to employment, school, their hobbies and families; survivors getting justice through the courts; survivors transforming their shame and despair into purpose for life. Referrals for counselling have risen every year since we started in 2001. In 2013 we expect to have over 350 referrals and get over 14,000 calls, texts and emails to our helplines. We do all this for less that £250,000 a year - roughly the cost to society of three rapes. Less than 10% of these costs are met by government grants. Thank you for your support which will make a real difference. * Please note that the registered address is not the location of our offices and counselling rooms which are all in a confidential location. Mail can be safely sent to this registered address for collection, however.
