The Youth Counselling Project (TYCP) is delighted to acknowledge grants totalling £18,330 from The Hendy Foundation, Sussex Community Foundation – Price Family Fund and the National Lottery Community Fund. Earlier this year TYCP was disappointed not to gain Lottery funding, having received grants in other years, so resubmitted an amended application which was successful. So at this point it seems appropriate to pay tribute to TYCP’s fundraisers, who put so much time and effort into often complex documentation in bids to gain much-needed money for the charity. Without these large sums of money TYCP would be unable to pay for the therapists who in the next academic year are on track to provide counselling for 93 students
from all five of Seaford’s state-maintained schools. Each student is offered a block of 10 sessions at a cost of around £500. However, the rules by which foundations offer the grants often preclude using the money for, say, administration costs which, even in a voluntary organisation like TYCP, can mount up, so TYCP is grateful for the very necessary support received from local organisations and individuals. So thank you Seaford Community Cinema for screening a film, In the Heights, last month at a fundraiser, which began with a dance performance by Streetfunk. The event was attended by the Mayor and Mayoress of Seaford, Cllr Rodney and Ann Reed, and raised £142.50 for TYCP. Not only does the support of local people help financially to provide counselling for young people with mental health problems, but it aids awareness which in turn helps TYCP’s bids for corporate and foundation grants. Together TYCP will strive to help as many students as it can.
