Patrons and members of Istead Rise Community Centre are helping raise funds to provide counselling for vulnerable young people in Gravesham, through the Elliott Holmes Memorial Fund. For the cost of a pint, your donation can make all the difference to keeping this vital service going in Gravesham.

Since 2022, EHMF has supported over 600 young people with fast, in-person counselling.

·       Average wait time: 6 days (UK average: 392 days)

·       No waiting list in 4 years

·       Delivered by 13 trusted counsellors

·       Working in partnership with schools, Kent Police, Darent Valley Hospital and local organisations

·       Providing ongoing support for families bereaved by youth suicide

There is simply no comparable service locally delivering this level of rapid, barrier-free support.

Without EHMF, many young people would face months of waiting, or may not receive help at all.

Your donation could mean a young person in crisis is seen within days, not months or even years. It could mean stability, hope, and a different future. This challenge will be tough, but the cause is far greater.

Please donate if you can. Together, we can change and even save young lives.

Thank you for your support.
