achievements of the charity,
identifying the difference the
charity’s work has made to
the circumstances of its
beneficiaries and any wider
benefits to society as a
whole|Para 1.20|**What we have achieved since 13th**
**September 2024 to 12th September**
**2025:**
We continue to operate our drop-in
centre every Friday and Saturday night,
8pm – 6am and are open to all young
people aged 13yrs to 25yrs.
The crisis drop-in centre has been open
for 105 sessions supporting young
people and their families. There were
only 2 closures of the drop-in centre
due to volunteer illness.
We attended 18 awareness/information
events, increasing our visibility in larger
forums like Hampshire County Council
and the Health & Wellbeing Board,
continuing our work with Hampshire
‘Voices’, the charity Inquest and both
Hampshire and Surrey Suicide steering
groups. We did suicide awareness and
prevention presentations to North
Hampshire Urgent Care and Calthorpe
Park School,
**Parents Support**
In addition to supporting the young
people of our community, we have also
been supporting their parents, families
and friends. Parents especially are
desperate for information and support,
often feeling that they are alone, with no
one to turn to. Our volunteers have
received additional training to better
equip them to offer the best support and
they are to be commended in the way
that they have stepped up to provide
this additional service| **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 to donate gifts, which are divided up into festive bags. Our Volunteers take great delight in playing ‘Santa’ and delivering all the bags on Christmas Eve to the young people in hospital units throughout Hampshire. **ICU Hospital Bags program** Sasha’s Project ICU Hospital Bag program provides hospital bags for young people (age 13-25yrs) who ended up in intensive care as the result of a suicide attempt. The program continues at both Frimley Park hospital and Wexham Park hospital. We have received some very touching feedback from young people who have used the bags, confirming that they make a real difference at such a difficult time. **Social media.** We continue to work on our social media output and were delighted to be able to launch our website which we are continually updating. Although we’re not as efficient as we should be, we are improving! **Outreach work** We continue to operate our Outreach project, with our Listening Volunteers taking information and awareness into our local community. It’s an opportunity for young people to get to know us and also for connections to be made with other professionals/groups who work throughout the night. **Service of Reflection** We continue to host our Service of Reflection in November 2025. It is a wonderful event, supporting our community who have been bereaved by suicide. It’s a non-religious, compassionate gathering with music and words. Occasions such as these are very much part of suicide prevention by supporting those bereaved, who are at high risk of suicide themselves. **Raising Awareness** We continue to work on implementing our Mission statement, particularly “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 through the following networking and events:Farnborough Sixth Form Open Days Farnborough College of Technology Open Days and Wellbeing Day at UCA, Farnham It is important to open up conversations around mental health and suicide within our community which all our volunteers continue to 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 also had at the numerous forums, panels and meetings which we attend, where we advocate for young people’s mental health to remain on the agenda. **Plans for the coming year:** We have a number of projects which we are planning to implement in 20252026. We are looking to improve the technical aspect of our Telephone Support Service and also to extend our outreach work, enabling us to extend our support to a wider community.
