Chalkhill Activity programme

Chalkhill Activity Programme

We have been supporting Chalkhill Child and Adolescent Mental Health Unit in Hayward Heath since 2015 and we’re happy to report that we’re carrying on this support for another three years.

Chalkhill supports young people who are experiencing acute mental health and emotional difficulties such as depression, eating disorders and psychosis.

Our funding provides the Activity Programme at the hospital, a year-round therapeutic activities programme which compliments the clinical work and the County Council education programme at the hospital.

This programme gives young people who are experiencing serious mental health issues the opportunity to take part in a range of normal experiences such as photography, yoga, creative arts, gardening and many more.

All of these activities help the young people increase their self-esteem and confidence, improve their health and well-being, and develop skills which will be beneficial for education, vocational training and independent living upon leaving the unit.

Thanks so much to Best of British Events, The Cullum Family Trust via Sussex Community Foundation, The Masonic Charitable Trust, Bloom Foundation and our supporters who have donated to this project already.
