Seasons For Growth (England and Wales) Ltd
(UK, 1091766) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00Seasons for Growth, (SfG) is a programme for children, young people and adults who have experienced significant change or loss. SfG is based on the belief that change, loss and grief are normal and valuable parts of life. We examine the impact of changes such as death, separation, divorce, loss of employment, and war (refugees and armed forces families) upon our lives, and explore how we can learn to live and grow from these experiences. The core intention of this programme is the development of resilience and emotional literacy to promote social and emotional wellbeing. The programme is educational in nature and does not provide therapy or counselling, but is delivered in a therapeutic way. The programme is based on William Worden’s 4 tasks of grief. We use the imagery of the four seasons to illustrate that grief is a cyclical experience, not a linear journey with a clear end. Trained ‘Companions’ facilitate small groups where participants share their experiences, and support and learn from one another. Peer support is a key element of the programme, and confidentiality is strongly emphasised.

Deaf Access
(UK, 1050990) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00Deaf Access provide a holistic range of services for Deaf and Hard of Hearing adults and children to improve and maintain their independence by providing information, support and services, as well as promoting public awareness and understanding. Deafness is not cute, does not tug on the heartstrings and people often think it is ‘less serious’ when they compare disabilities. Yet for the 1 in 6 adults & children with a hearing loss, being unable to follow conversation, missing vital information or social chit chat can have a devastating emotional impact. Their deafness cuts them off from people, their families, friends, groups and services- which negatively affects their independence, mental health and well being. In July 2010 BSMHD quoted the 2010 GP Survey statistics showing that Deaf people are the most discriminated against and most deprived in the country. They are far more likely to be unemployed; 13% compared to national average of 4%, have worse than average physical health-14% compared to 6%, those with poor health are 10% compared to national average of 6%. Deaf people are more likely to be a Carer; 26% compared to 9%. Crucially the mental wellbeing of the Deaf Community is far worse than the national average-10% of Deaf people having a psychological or emotional Condition, compared to 6%. This astonishing evidence is just a small example of why specialist support resource centres like Deaf Access are vitally needed.Your money will help us to be there for them- and you- when you need us by getting through the recession and cut backs- together we can make a difference! On behalf of Deaf Access, may we thank you for considering supporting us. Sue Craney Executive Director of Deaf Access Visit our Website at www.deaf-access.co.uk
