We can’t do it without you

We work to improve the emotional health of children and young people throughout Nottinghamshire, Lincolnshire and across the East Midlands. We need your help to make sure we are able to maintain and grow the number of young people we are able to support. It takes courage to ask for help and too many are being told they have to wait while struggling with their mental health.

We currently support around 2100 young people per year with 1-to-1 counselling.

Our work is funded through a variety of contracts, grants and the generous giving of our fantastic supporters.

But we want to do so much more.

To achieve this and to make a difference to even more lives we need your help. These pages will show how you can support us and what you can do to get involved.

You can help by donating, or running a fundraising activity, or by taking part in an organised event. This section will help you discover ways in which you can support the incredibly valuable work we undertake.

Around 50% of mental health issues in adults started before they were aged 15. Helping children and young people develop emotional resilience is essential for laying the foundation of good mental health in later life. So any contribution you can make is very gratefully received and incredibly well used.

Ways to support us

Fundraise

You can fundraise by doing an event and asking people to sponsor you, no matter how large or how small the plan you have you will be surprised at what can be done. You could… run, cycle or swim, or bake, or car boot, or set up a charity shop in your school, or climb, or walk, or keep quiet, or sing, or play snooker, or wear 258 t-shirts at once.

The ideas are almost endless. Our A-to-Z image below may help you decide or you can come up with your own whacky idea.

Corporate Support

At CASY we rely on the incredibly generous donations of individuals, local authorities and trusts to continue supporting children and young people within our communities. We are always keen to engage with businesses around Lincolnshire and Nottinghamshire and feel corporate responsibility should be a mutually beneficial arrangement.

Supporting us can help contribute to motivation of your employees, it can provide a focus for the organisation and offer PR opportunities that can demonstrate that you are giving something back to local communities.

School Support

Does your school have a dress down day for a charity?

If so, you could suggest they do it for CASY. The funds would be put to amazing use supporting children and young people when they most need it. At least one in ten of the children in a school will be affected by emotional and mental health issues, and the impact can affect the whole family. Good emotional health provides a solid foundation for children into later life.

Corporate Support

A huge thank you to all the businesses out there who support our work, we are so incredibly grateful.

UMC Architects – Yorkshire 3 Peaks Challenge

An amazing amount has been raised by the team at UMC Architects in their very challenging Yorkshire Three Peaks trek! Soaked but smiling, they pushed through and raised an amazing £4,218. We are so thankful for their continued support of CASY and for their effort despite the elements last weekend. The money raised goes towards providing mental health support for Children and Young people in our community.
