Every month we choose a charity to support through our monthly donations to help raise money for worthwhile causes. This month we’re supporting Spotlight UK; a charity that works alongside families referred by social workers, schools, early help hubs, GPs and health visitors and helping support them through challenging times.
About Spotlight UK
Since day one Spotlight UK has created a unique environment for young people which is both safe and fun, allowing children to be themselves and express their feelings through various activities and clubs.
There is something for everyone – from after school clubs to nurture groups, from sports activities to performing arts activities to holiday clubs, from arts and crafts to youth clubs.
Spotlight UK’s team of qualified and experienced youth workers support young people aged 8-21 years who are experiencing mental health issues including self-harming, anger, anxiety and depression. They also support vulnerable young people at risk of child sexual exploitation, exclusion from school/poor attainment at school, or who have experienced loss or separation/domestic abuse, physical/sexual or emotional abuse or neglect.
Their team currently provides over 2925 mentoring hours during term time per year.
Spotlight UK supports around 500 children in activities during term time and around 80 children each school holiday – and there are plans on ever increasing this across the country.
Spotlight UK’s regular attendees include young carers, children in care, fostered children, abuse victims and children who have experienced change, loss or separation for various reasons such as long term medical conditions, terminal illness, bereavement, imprisonment or family break up. They are proud to provide inclusive activities for children with additional needs.
The objectives of the charity are as follows:
- To relieve the needs of children and young people, their families and carers who are suffering from terminal illness or mental or physical illness, by the provision of activities and respite so as to advance their quality and condition of life.
- To advance in life and relieve the needs of children and young people through:
- The provision of recreational and leisure time activities provided in the interests of social welfare, designed to improve their conditions of life.
- Providing support and activities which develop their skills, capacities and capabilities to enable them to participate in society as mature and responsible individuals.
- Any such other purposes deemed charitable by the law of England and Wales as the trustees shall from time to time determine.
