Following the outbreak of Covid-19, we urgently need to raise funds for our charitable Bridge in Schools (BiS) programme. BiS provides mental health input, embedded in local schools, to some of the most deprived families in the city.
The impact of Covid is falling heaviest on the children we work with, whose situation was already precarious before the pandemic struck: we are hearing about an increase in mental health and relationship difficulties, including domestic violence, with vulnerable children and families living in cramped circumstances and access to support services reduced to a minimum. The need for professional therapeutic support, allied to community-based services, will be more important than ever as the pandemic enforces changing work and family circumstances, financial insecurity, isolation and prolonged uncertainty on families across the city.
The support of donors like yourselves is absolutely vital to keeping our service going. We are sincerely grateful for any help you can offer.
