HELLO FROM CEO

since the inception of bigmoose we have always wanted the legacy we aimed to build to be about helping people, and changing lives for good, and ultimately leaving the world better than we found it.

this impact report is a progress report to show how we are growing, and learning how to dream big, inspire, and achieve goals bigger than some ever expected.

the future of bigmoose needs to be big, there are so many people that need our help, and with access to our 300 therapists we are gearing up for expansion.

we have built an amazing community of supporters, and our current fundraising drive is performing extremely well, with our current funding 21/22 seeing us have phenomenal results, which i am extremely excited for you to read within this report, i won't spoil it for you here.

this is my first year as ceo, and the transition into this role has personally been life changing, for all good reasons, and i have never been so committed to anything so much ever in my life, and i am loving it.

chloe and i, and our small team are delivering way bigger results than we should, and i personally put this down to passion, and the enthusiasm from our key team, which is palpable.

we are currently working behind the scenes on exciting software projects to assist our growth, and allow us to be more efficient and speedy in our responses, and have three exciting projects, that should happen h2, so watch this space.

to summarize this year to date, we have learnt that the world needs bigmoose, and bigmoose needs the world.

together we will help many, and can save those that need saving, please come on the journey with us, and help us to serve the world.

charitable PURPOSES

Our Mission

bigmoose is on a mission to support people through therapy and early intervention.

our goals are to:

our strategy for achieving these goals is by providing therapy to people who need it. in wales there is a 36 week waiting list to get mental health therapy. with bigmoose you are seen within a week.

these long waiting lists are huge contributing factors to why we are seeing a rise in suicide rates. people need help, and they need it quickly.

every client is treated as an individual and we refer them to the best suited therapist based on their needs, and our therapists specialities. on average people are only needing 4 sessions of therapy.

why bigmoose?

our work is different for a number of reasons:

at bigmoose our goal is to leave the world better than we found it and through our work we are achieving this every single day.

charitable PURPOSES

project 1 million

during lockdown 2020 we were discussing the future of bigmoose and how we wanted to impact the world. during this time we were providing therapy for lots of people and had been told by five people that without our intervention they would have ended their lives. due to early and impactful intervention 5 people were still alive. 5 families weren't grieving and the world still had these amazing humans in it. we could not get this thought out of our heads. unfortunately we were hearing more and more of people struggling and lives being lost. we recognised that people needed help, now more than ever. as we listened to people's stories one thing that we were hearing time and time again was that the therapy and intervention that people needed was taking too long and was inaccessible for so many people.

throughout 2022 we are aiming to raise £1,000,000 which will be used to provide therapy and early & timely intervention for people. as well as providing training for businesses to better support their teams.

we realise this is a huge goal and we cannot do it alone. we need all the help we can get and we would love to have you on board. our goal is to help people with their mental health, prevent suicide and reduce homelessness.

we will achieve our goal, and we will save lives. in 2020, 5224 people killed themselves in england and wales. this project will help to reduce this number. we hope you will join us and help to leave the world better than we found it.

and so, just like that, we had found what direction we wanted to take bigmoose in, and project 1 million was born.

our 2022 STRATEGY

for 2021/22 we have focused our efforts on raising funds to provide therapy. we have a variety of ways we are aiming to achieve our fundraising goal.

our 2022 GOALS

the last year has seen us launch our biggest project to date. project 1 million has challenged us, inspired us and pushed us to grow and streamline our systems. we've worked tirelessly with our ultimate goal being to save people's lives and to be able to provide people with the help they need.

fundraise £1,000,0000

save lives

we're aiming to raise £1,000,000 to go to mental health support for people. the goal being to save lives, prevent suicide and reduce homelessness. the main obstacle stopping us from helping more people is money so we felt aiming for a huge target would give us a focus, attract attention and inspire people to get involved.

the ultimate goal is to save lives. at the moment there isa 36 week waiting list to get mental health therapy through the nhs. this in our opinion is too long, and is meaning we're losing more people. we feel by offering early and timely intervention it will allow us to save more lives, and also help people before things get too bad.

create 2023 and beyond strategy

we want bigmoose to be a household name. when people think of mental health or hear of someone needing help we want them to think 'bigmoose can help'. to make this happen we are continuing to market across social media, do more mainstream marketing and also expand our merchandise offer.

we recognise that we want bigmoose to continue to grow year on year and we want to continue the momentum into 2023 and beyond. we are engaging with local business leaders who are experts in strategy to help us to plan. we are also booking 2023 events in so people can plan ahead.
