'The Coffee Caravan'
(UK, 1125748) Browse events
YTD Raised: £90.00Making a difference to rural communities throughout SuffolkWe exist to help rurally isolated people in Suffolk to access services and information to improve their lives, health and wellbeing. To bring people together within communities to create local support mechanisms. This is a free service that is accessible to everyone. Why the community needs this charity Our project provides an innovative solution to the real problem of rural isolation. Loss of services in rural communities can leave residents without any means of connecting with each other, this can lead to low mood and loneliness. Accessing information is almost impossible in these situations. Our project creates a social focus with a free mobile community cafe/information centre, which offers support and the chance to meet and talk with fellow residents in the same situation. Results and outcomes Starting in 2003 as a voluntary organisation, with just one small caravan, demand for our project service has caused our project to grow enormously. We are now a registered charity with two caravans and a mobilitiy bus visiting around 80 rural communities each year. We now also run Golden Age Fairs, these alone have lead to over 1000 individuals that have been linked into services that have improved their health and wellbeing.

Established in 1995, Bedford Open Door is a registered charity based in central Bedford.

The day to day delivery of the service is co-ordinated by a Project Manager, Counselling Manager and a number of receptionists, all working part time. In 2008 we purchased a 5 bedroom residential property, 120 Tavistock Street, Bedford. In 2009 the building was transformed into a purpose built community counselling facility. In October 2011 Bedford Open Door gained British Association of Counselling and Psychotherapy accreditation. The BACP service accreditation offers a kitemark standard that emphasises safe, competent and efficient service provision. Bedford Open Door has had to provide robust evidence of service quality and professionalism. Here are a few comments from clients on the impact counselling has made in their lives. "As a client at BOD I was able to confront my issues head on. I received great care and compassion from my counsellor” "I felt like it really helped me and people said they noticed a difference in me since I started going” "I feel my life has changed so much thanks to my counsellor and the work we have done. I would like to thank her very much." Our small, local charity needs additional funding to continue with this vital work.
