Projects

Rolling out in 2021 together with the Lottery community Fund RJVN8 Mental Health are putting into action and investing in a super-rapid response unit, as our first responders take that call which can be lifesaving. Our goal is to have a counsellor in a car to the location with a view to instant emergency care. This is a service that currently does not exist and is that missing piece of what is a very traumatic time for so many. Our plan is to invest into communities with follow up Pop up Counselling and therapy hubs where people can come in have tea or coffee and just be open about what they are feeling. The long waiting times and the costs of these services are currently a major contributing factor in the surge of suicide. 800,000 people die from suicide annually which is one person every 40 seconds according to The World Health Organisation and suicide rates have increased across the UK this year which has been exacerbated by the Covid19 epidemic.

We have plans to help as many people as possible. The money raised will be used to expand our excellent team to provide 24/7 transport provided by our local partner United Taxi's and to develop our pop-up pods.
