Funded one-to-one Counselling / Psychotherapy sessions for children and young adults, in Derbyshire and Nottinghamshire.
Thanks to funding from The National Lottery Awards for all and donations from our supporters we have so far been able to fully fund over 720 counselling sessions (for over 60 children and young people).
We have been working with Green Lane Counselling and Psychotherapy and Mary Kelly Therapy to provide this vital service.
We did it Callum!
We are so proud to share the news that in February 2024 we were successful in securing £19,980 from The National Lottery Community Fund for our funded counselling project.
Here is Laura, Callum’s mum and founder of our charity ‘Callum’s Voice’ proudly holding our National Lottery cheque.
We received the funding in perfect timing for Children’s mental health week (February 5th – February 11th) were this year’s theme was ‘my voice matters’.
Callum’s Voice aims to: ‘empower young people so that their voices are heard’ through providing these funded counselling and psychotherapy sessions and through our other work/projects.
This grant is to fund counselling sessions over the next two years for around 37 children for up to a maximum of 12 sessions. We will therefore open our referrals on a quarterly basis & will unfortunately, have to limit the amount that we can accept each quarter. We will monitor the position closely, and rest assured, will accept as many referrals as we can. We hope that you can appreciate the need for us to place these limits as demand for the service is high.
Any donations that we receive towards the cost of the sessions will enable us to accept more referrals each quarter thus helping more children and young people who need it.

Step 2: Once the Charity Trustees receive and review the referral they will send it to one of the experienced counsellors we work with based on a best matched approach.
Step 3: The referral will be reviewed by a Counsellor to ensure the support they can offer is going to be appropriate.
Step 4: A Counsellor will then contact you to arrange an initial assessment to discuss how you are feeling and how counselling may help you.
The child/young adult and Counsellor will be best matched accordingly.
Please note:
Whilst we endeavour to ensure counselling sessions commence quickly, there may at times be a wait.
We welcome voluntary contributions towards the cost of the counselling sessions to enable us to help more children and young people, though this is not essential.
