The Big Give

Your donations helped raise over £11K during this fundraising campaign.

Because of your generosity, CFC raised an incredible £5,020, unlocking £5,000 in matched funding. That is over £11,000 to make a difference to our community.

 

Every single gift mattered. Every donation was a statement of hope, compassion and confidence in the work we do. Your support has shown that when a community comes together, remarkable things can happen.

Fundraising campaigns are never just about the money raised. They are about people. They are about individuals choosing to stand alongside others, to care, and to help create positive change. We have been deeply touched by the messages, encouragement and generosity shown throughout this campaign.

Thanks to you, we can continue providing vital support to children, young people and families who rely on our services. Your contribution will have a lasting impact far beyond this fundraising week.

Why Your Support Matters

Small charities are the backbone of community care. We reach people early — before crisis becomes catastrophe — providing support that not only transforms individual lives but also reduces pressure on overstretched NHS and statutory services.


Every counselling session, every school visit, every volunteer hour helps prevent escalation. This means fewer hospital admissions, reduced demand on social services, and stronger, more resilient communities.


Without charities like ours, many people simply would not receive the help they need, when they need it most.

 

Real Voices. Real Impact.


“Before I came here, I didn’t think anyone would listen or understand. I felt completely alone. The support I received has changed everything - I’m coping again, my relationships are improving, and for the first time in a long time, I feel hopeful about the future.”


Behind every statistic is a person who felt heard, supported, and able to move forward.


The Difference We Make - Together

Our impact is not just felt - it is measurable, meaningful, and far-reaching:

More Than Numbers - A Lifeline

We provide a safe, confidential space where people can begin to rebuild, where children can learn to express their emotions, adults can find stability, and families can heal together.


This kind of early, preventative support does not just change lives, it protects vital public services by reducing long-term demand.


A Critical Moment for Small Charities

Demand for our services is rising, while funding is increasingly uncertain. Small charities like ours operate with limited resources but deliver life-changing impact every day.

 

Without sustained support, these essential services are at risk, leaving vulnerable people with nowhere to turn.
