Chrysalis - Gender Identity Matters
(UK, 1116321) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00Chrysalis supports transgender people and their significant others through one-to-one counselling, workshops, facilitated group work, peer mentoring, training, advocacy and outreach across five locations in Hampshire & Dorset. Since 2005 we have supported transgender people through all stages of their exploration of their gender identity. The support we offer provides a lifeline to trans people: “Chrysalis saves lives! When I joined Chrysalis I was in a very dark and confusing place. Chrysalis helped me to come to terms with myself and sort my thoughts out to lead a better life for me and my family.” – Cassie In 2012 we increased our services offered to include confidential safe spaces and counselling to those affected by someone else’s gender identity issues. Our ‘Significant Other Support (SOS)’ groups give parents and partners a place for their own discussions and help. In supporting family units, Chrysalis assists families to stay together or reconnect. Since 2005, we have supported over 500 beneficiaries and around 100 people currently access our services and we aim to increase service provision to another 50 people by the end of 2018. Typically beneficiaries stay with Chrysalis for six months to two years, receiving 16-24 sessions of free one-to-one counselling and many return as volunteers. Our current board of nine trustees has six former beneficiaries and we have a team of 42 volunteers.
Fishing For Forces
(UK, 1141744) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00“Taking the wounded to the waterside” Fishing For Forces was formed to allow anglers and members of the public nationwide to express their thanks to those who have suffered wounds of any description, those who are serving and those who have served in all conflicts, protecting our country and much envied way of life. Working with many anglers, clubs and syndicates throughout the UK we organise monthly group and individual days at the waterside to share the now widely recognised therapeutic and stress-busting benefits that a day at a river or lake can provide. There are many among the pictures in our gallery who have suffered wounds, both physically and mentally, but their courage in trying to get back to a normal life is only to be admired. With your donations we assist in the recovery of our wounded and remove the stress attached to being a member of HMAF at every opportunity. This is your charity and we only put in to action what many of you have said, with one to one mentored instruction and many anglers giving their time to pass on their skills in all the disciplines of angling. Check the website www.fishingforforces.org and see what so many of you have achieved so far and I assure you that, without exception, all of our 2000+ guests to date (all members of HMAF) have ended the day asking “when is the next one?”. Many are also taking up angling as their primary leisure pursuit. The demand is ever-growing as you are aware so please join us, give generously and let us broaden our horizons and achieve even greater results on your behalf. My thanks. Bill HowellFounder
