The Youth Counselling Project

First, a big thank you to all those people who have continued to support us through the pandemic. By the end of this academic year our therapists will have counselled a total of 75 individual students from four Seaford schools, plus provided therapy to two groups of children thought to benefit from this approach over one-to-one counselling.

We badly need local donations to enable us to meet administration costs that cannot come out of grants. We have been trying to raise public awareness by such efforts as taking up Morrison’s kind offer of an in-store table to display publicity material. Thank you Morrisons.

We are also working on the resumption of our programme of events and hope to restart the popular quizzes at The Old Plough as soon as possible. By the time you have read this we should have taken part in Seaford Rotary Club’s Rainbow Walk fundraiser along the seafront. Please help us to help them by visiting www.tycp.org.uk.

In the meantime, we are delighted to receive a £10,000 grant from the Garfield Weston Foundation, a charity that was established in 1958 by Willard Garfield Weston, a businessman who moved to the UK in 1932 and went on to found Associated British Foods. The foundation was endowed by family-owned shares in the business. His son Garry became one of the UK’s best regarded philanthropists. Its 60th birthday in 2018 saw it giving £11m to local communities.

We are also extremely grateful to the Sussex Community Foundation which has awarded us a much-needed £9,000. Founder and first chairman, the late Duke of Richmond and Gordon, felt that the establishment of a community foundation would highlight the smaller charities and community groups often overlooked when local people and companies thought about giving to charity. of social deprivation,’ he said. ‘At the same time, when local people or companies think of giving to charity they tend to think of large national bodies, because little is known about the small community groups on their doorsteps. Sussex Community Foundation has been set up to bridge this gap and to make it easy for local people and companies to give to local communities. The foundation can make a significant difference to local quality of life. This is about local communities working together for the welfare of all for many years to come.’

There is evidence to show that if school-age children are treated without delay they stand a good chance of recovering from anxiety and depression. Schoolsbased The Youth Counselling Project works in our local community to help young people to become happier members of society by receiving counselling when they need it, rather than having to wait so long for treatment that it may be too late to avoid developing lifelong mental health problems.

HOME SWEET HOME

Buying a property should be exciting. Not exhausting.

All too often, the prospect of dealing with the ‘conveyancing bit’ of moving home can be a little bit daunting. At Barwells Solicitors, we believe it can be better than that. We think the whole process should be made as straightforward and painless as possible. You should be kept right up to date with what’s going on, in everyday language, rather than ‘lawyerspeak’. And you should be kept informed of the cost all the way through the process. In fact we don’t just think it we do it.
