Testimonials

Thanks to the generous support of Give Northants, KidsAid was able to deliver vital group therapy sessions for young people who had struggled with drug and alcohol use linked to their lived experiences and trauma. This funding enabled us to create a safe, trauma-informed and supportive space where young people could connect with others who understood their experiences, explore creative expression, and develop healthier coping strategies to manage overwhelming emotions. Participants told us they felt more confident, better equipped to regulate their emotions, and more hopeful about their futures. For many, the group reduced feelings of isolation and helped them realise they were not alone in their experiences. We are incredibly grateful for this investment in young people’s mental health and wellbeing, which has made a meaningful difference in our community.

We are indebted to GIVE Northants, who have supported our charitable work through a number of grants over the years.

The continued support of the trust is a great source of encouragement to all of us involved with the work of Spencer Contact, and will help us to continue our work in providing furniture and household items to those in desperate need in Northampton.

As a charity we aim to improve the lives of people in the local community and fill the gap left by the closure of children’s centres. We had identified a lack of knowledge around healthy food and cooking skills in our families. The funding we were kindly awarded has been used to promote health diets and lifestyles in the local area.
