CCP currently needs around £1.2m per year to deliver a holistic range of Crisis and Preventative services. Much of this comes from local authority and government grants and whilst these allow us to support a large number of people, we are restricted to addressing a limited range of problems.
For example
Such grants provide funding which allow us to help a single mother to overcome a mental health problem and avoid eviction from her home, but they cannot be used to help her young children to cope with the emotional distress and social isolation caused by their mother’s repeated breakdowns and her fear of mixing with other parents and children.
We can help the mother through her personal Crisis, but we also need to work with the children to Prevent any further detriment to their wellbeing.
This is just one aspect of our work which currently receives no dedicated funding, so every donation, however large or small, is important in allowing us to provide comprehensive Holistic support to people and families with multiple complex problems.
