I am taking park in a 10K run and raising funds for Our Place Support!
Our Place Support are a voluntary organisation delivering support to hundreds of local people across Birmingham and the surrounding areas.
Their Mentoring Scheme supports children from as young as 6 through to adults who are struggling with their emotional and mental health.
They work with children and adults every week for up to a year to ensure that they are able to make a lasting positive change. They have supported people with many issues including overcoming abuse, parental separation, loss, anger and suicidal thoughts. Our Place have said that they are seeing an increase in children needing help very challenging issues such as self harm with suicidal thoughts and need more funding to recruit and train mentors to support these children.
Our Place also run an Advice Cafe which is free for anyone to access. This project helps people that find themselves in complex situations with housing, homelessness, debt/bailiffs, benefit appeals, sanctions and much more! We are one of very few places that people can come to for face to face support to deal with matters that have become unmanageable for them.
Please dig deep and sponsor what you can to help Our Place continue supporting people in our local communities.
