charity, identifying the in centre in March 2021, we have
difference the charity’s extended our opening nights to
work has made to the include Friday nights as well as
circumstances of its Saturday nights. We have also
beneficiaries and any extended our age range and are now
wider benefits to society open to all young people aged 13yrs
as a whole. to 25yrs.
Christmas 2021 we operated our first
Christmas Box scheme. Sasha’s
Project Christmas Box Scheme is
about delivering a box/bag of
Christmas gifts to young people who
are spending Christmas Day on a
mental health unit. Being an in-
patient is hard at the best of times,
but at Christmas it is particularly
difficult, especially if the young
person is unable to see family and
friends on Christmas Day.
This is a project where communities,
individuals and groups come together
**----- End of picture text -----**
to donate gifts, which are divided up into festive bags, which are then delivered on Christmas Eve to the young people in hospital units throughout Hampshire. In 2021 we were able to deliver nearly 70 bags to 6 hospitals, and in 2022 we delivered just over 100 bags to 9 hospitals. In addition, the scheme was run in Manchester on our behalf where 30 bags were delivered to 3 hospitals in the area. In December 2022 we introduced our first ICU Hospital Bags program. Earlier this year, Sasha’s Project started thinking about the possibility of providing hospital bags for young people (age 13-25yrs) who ended up in intensive care as the result of a suicide attempt. Sasha kept a hospital bag prepped and ready for just such instances, which contained all that she needed if she ended up in ICU - toiletries, underwear, top and sweatpants, socks, a book, and a comforter. We wanted to offer something similar to those young people who end up not only in Frimley Park Hospital, but all the local hospitals in our area. We approached Frimley Park hospital who were very supportive. As a result of these discussions, Sasha’s Project is trialling the scheme at Frimley Park Hospital, extending it to include Wexham Park Hospital in January 2023. If these two are successful, then we will be rolling the scheme out to the following hospitals: - Royal Surrey County Hospital Basingstoke and North Hampshire Hospital Royal Hampshire County Hospital Social media increase. Our social media coverage has increased steadily, with Instagram, Facebook and Twitter accounts. Our next goal is to launch a website in early 2023. We have been working on
implementing our Mission statement, particularly the part which states “to challenge and change public perception about the stigma of mental health issues, inspiring others to do the same, alongside promoting a zero tolerance of suicide”. We have achieved this by raising awareness of the charity and our goals through the following networking and events:Fleet Carnival July 2021 and July 2022 Fleet Festivities Nov 2021 and Nov 2022 Farnborough College of Technology Open Day 2021 and 2022 Friends of Fleet Hospital AGM 2021 Hart WI Group Christmas Carol Service Dec 2022 It is important to open up conversations around mental health and suicide within our community which all our volunteers do in their daily lives, both socially and at their places of work. These random conversations make an impact and raise awareness. These conversations are had at the numerous forums, panels and meetings we attend, where we advocate for young people’s mental health to remain on the agenda.
