Charities

Organisers Worcestershire Ambassadors are proud to announce that SW6 will be supporting mental health initiatives at St Paul’s Hostel and Worcester Community Trust.

Worcester Community Trust chief executive Faith Sanderson said: "We want to thank everyone taking part in this fantastic event. The funding will go a long way in supporting our work with thousands of young people and adults.

"Demand for our services has increased hugely over the last 12 months and this year we are growing our mental health support by providing a domestic abuse ‘Survivors Network’, youth mentoring and young ambassador training, more community connector sessions, targeted support sessions and activities for adults, as well as exciting community events."

Felicity James, skills development and community engagement manager at St Paul’s Hostel, said: "We are absolutely delighted to have been chosen as one of the two charities of the year. This gives us the platform to explain how mental health is a major cause of chronic homelessness and is a fantastic opportunity to raise awareness."
