Who doesn’t love an afternoon tea 🫖

Thank you to the King family for organising an amazing afternoon tea celebration.

The event raised £866 which will go towards supporting our partner schools in September 💜

No matter how big or small the donation “every little helps” as the famous Tesco saying goes. And every penny goes a long way to support young people in Surrey.

We aren’t crying…You are!

This is why we do what we do, making a positive difference to the lives of the young people we support, and we couldn’t do that without all of the people who have supported us to make a change in Surrey improving mental health💜

“Thank you to the Grace Dear Trust sincerely from the podcast team.

Thank you for giving us a space
and a lovely place
to openly share
those little moments that are so rare

Thanks to you we can now share
and tell others
How before we couldn't talk about politics and plants
together in one shout

Now with yours and Poppy’s help
to understand rather than just have self help.
Lockdown to laughter
almost from toe to crown

Thanks to you we have a fun arena to talk about things like Tom and Tina…..
We love your help and support, without this we would have had to abort

Thank you now and forever more.
Thank you
from the podcast team”

We are normally not one to post anything that is controversial however seeing this on @nadinedorries Twitter feed has angered us!

. Over 200 school children take their own lives every year

. CAMHS has a 3-6 month waiting list to support young people

. The Priory, a private mental health facility have taken on emergency placements from the NHS with only 6 beds available across the country!

. The Priory also have 31 beds available privately across the country

. Every 90 minutes someone in the UK takes their own life

. The @samaritanscharity respond to over 400 calls for help a day

. The hardest part is to tell someone you need help when you’re not ok, to then find out you have to wait for support. What kind of message are we sending people in crisis?

If this is not a mental health crisis what is?

Is it acceptable to loss 6,500 people to Suicide each year?

Donating by SMS is a quick and easy way to support

Donating by SMS is a quick and easy way to support our work.

This year has been incredibly hard financially, mentally and physically for everyone.

However, mental ill health is on the rise in both young people and adults, and there’s simply not enough resources or support to provide the help that’s needed.

Please support us in any way you can 💜

We love a good motivational quote but we also know

We love a good motivational quote but we also know that sometimes we can’t fight through our negative feelings by reading a quote online 💪

It is important that when we get into a negative headspace we have mechanisms to help us through the storm ☔️

Here are some techniques👇

📲 Phone a friend
✍️ Write down your thoughts
📖 Read a book
🎧 Listen to music or a podcast
🏃‍♀️ Exercise or go for a walk
🛀 Have a bath with all the trimmings

Throwback Thursday to two years ago when we could surround ourselves with family and friends.

Today would have been Grace’s 32nd birthday 💜

Birthdays are always hard as it’s another milestone in Graces life which we can’t celebrate with her. But we know she will be with us in spirit.
