Bedford Open Door
(UK, 1053008) Browse events
YTD Raised: £70.00Bedford Open Door offers an accessible, confidential and free professional counselling service to young people aged between 13 and 25 living in Bedfordshire. Our aim is to enable young people to manage their own lives with confidence and safety. Fully qualified, professional counsellors deliver the service. Established in 1995, Bedford Open Door is a registered charity based in central Bedford. Local people including GPs, Social Workers, Youth Workers, parents and those working within the education system recognised the need for a counselling service for young people. A board of local, experienced Trustees oversee the provision of the service. The service delivery team is formed from fully qualified volunteer counsellors whose work is supervised by a team of experienced professional supervisors. 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.

We are trialling new resources for children with learning disabilities, and we also produce Good Books for Tough Times, recommending storybooks to help children facing bereavement, bullying or family break-up. In all our work, we help children develop the skills they need to deal with difficulties, so that they will be better able to cope with problems and crises as teenagers and adults. It’s great value for money - about £2 for each child who completes Zippy’s Friends - and while we’re big enough to be effective, we’re small enough for your support to make a real difference. Please help us to promote good mental health for children - for life.

Birmingham Citizens Advice Bureau Service Ltd
(UK, 519639) Browse events
YTD Raised: £35.00We are the Charity for the Community. We help people from all walks of life by providing advice on many issues; employment, consumer, debt, benefits, health, tax, housing and immigration. This year is our 75th Anniversary - we were established the day after World War Two broke out. In those days, we helped to trace missing relatives, and gave advice on rationing. Our volunteers pulled together to help neighbours and friends, and we operated from a horse box, as there was nowhere else available! This commitment still remains today. From the debt issues in the 1980’s, to the complex benefit systems today, we are always on hand to assist the community with the issues that matter most. We are the first place people in Birmingham go when they do not know where to turn. Many of our clients are in crisis, and can be at risk of losing their homes, jobs or families. Our advice can mean the difference between putting food on the table, or going hungry. We also help sections of society in special need - people affected by cancer come to us for advice on how to financially adjust, people with mental health issues come to us for help with complicated forms and procedures. We provide advice at a time when people need it most, and empower them so that they can lead a better quality of life. Our advice changes lives. We are: independent, impartial, confidential and free. Last year, we helped over 30,000 people, which was achieved with the help of our 230 passionate volunteers. We value diversity, promote equality and challenge discrimination. Our mission is to provide free, accurate, relevant and helpful advice, to all those who seek our assistance, in a safe, non-discriminatory environment.
