Raising money to support our young people with their mental health through private therapists.

Anyone who has tried to receive help for their children knows the waiting lists are incredibly long!

The NHS is overwhelmed, especially after the last few years, but our children need support now.

In May, Confidence Through Football (CTF) Coaches and Sandgate Football Club coaches will take on a multi-marathon journey as they walk #MilesforSmiles. They will complete six different walks totalling 146 miles within 10 days, with many local residents joining them along the way.

The mission is quite simple: To raise funds for private mental health treatment for youngsters under the age of 16.

In Partnership with Iver Community Youth Services (IYCS 1183462), a team of experienced therapists will provide private mental health treatment to children in the local Iver, Berks, Bucks and local London postal codes. They specialise in working with teenagers and will provide an invaluable service and support network for local children.

All money raised will pay the therapists who have agreed to work for a fraction of their usual fee for this fantastic cause. The more funds raised, the more children can receive this often life-changing intervention.

Every penny counts. £10,000 will provide over 500 private mental health sessions.

Please help them get there and make a difference in the local community with #MilesforSmiles
