Urgent Appeal: Help Keep Bridge the Gap Open
Derby, United Kingdom
Aim
To fund urgent electrical repairs and rising energy bills, keeping our child mental health hub safely open for Derby’s community
Bridge the Gap Child Mental Health CIC is a unique community-focused hub in the heart of Derby, dedicated to improving the mental health and emotional wellbeing of children and their families. We're a passionate team of practitioners, educators, volunteers, and local people who believe every child deserves a safe and nurturing space to grow, heal, and thrive.
Our Vision
We envision a community where no child faces emotional struggles alone, where every family has access to compassionate and adaptable mental health support. For every child to feel hopeful about their future. Our aim is to keep Bridge the Gap open, safe, and welcoming, especially in these challenging economic times.
Why We Need Your Help
Our cherished home at St Mary’s Gate urgently needs essential electrical repairs, costing £6,000, to keep our doors safely open. On top of that, rising energy bills of over £800 per month are stretching us beyond our means, putting our future at risk.
Simply put, without immediate community support, we may not be able to continue providing this lifeline service.
How Your Donation Helps
Your donations will directly fund:
⚡️ Urgent Electrical Repairs to meet safety standards (£6,000).
💡 Energy Costs to maintain heating, lighting, and safe spaces (over £800/month).
🔨 Ongoing Maintenance & Running Costs (cleaning, waste management, repairs).
Why Bridge the Gap Matters
“Bridge the Gap changed everything for our family. Our child found safety and confidence, and we found hope. There's nowhere else like it."
