What is this fundraiser for?
Being peer-led and predominantly volunteer-led, PsyCare UK’s current income is largely dependent on what we charge festivals to have our services at their event. Unfortunately, this isn’t enough to cover our long list of expenses as our charity grows, especially with increasing costs over the last couple of years.
This fundraiser aims to raise some much needed money to help us cover our core costs and develop as an organisation, as well as expanding our welfare service to help support a greater number of people at festivals. We also hope to create more harm reduction resources to be able to educate a broader audience in drug awareness and harm reduction.
All the money raised will go towards fundamentally helping those in need of our support at festivals.
Why is PsyCare UK’s work important?
Many people experience challenging psychedelic experiences at music festivals, as well as other drug related difficulties on top of everyday emotional, psychological and practical difficulties. PsyCare compassionately supports those going through these challenging times, in a safe and supportive environment. We care for approximately 1400 people per year, and since our beginnings in 2008 have supported around 2000 people through psychedelic trips.
Our service gives individuals the opportunity to transform challenging and often fragile experiences into opportunities for growth and learning. We also provide harm reduction and crisis support, which is essential in preventing situations being unnecessarily escalated to services which may not be equipped with the understanding or knowledge of working with people in altered states of consciousness. People’s welfare always remains at the heart of what we do.
