Aim

To build a supportive fundraising village, passionate about improving the future for young people most vulnerable to poor long term outcomes


Build the TRS Village: "It Takes a Village to Raise a Child"

We’re inviting you to be part of something powerful - a movement rooted in the African proverb, “It takes a village to raise a child.” The Regulation Station CIC is building that village, and we need your help to continue to thrive.

What Is The Regulation Station?

The Regulation Station CIC is a social enterprise education provision based in Dunstable, Bedfordshire. We support children and young people who are struggling to survive within the current education system such as those facing exclusion because of emotional dysregulation, and mental health challenges. Our work is grounded in therapeutic approaches, relational safety, and trauma-informed practices.

What Are We Raising Funds For?

We’re raising money to continue our therapy-based services and build personalised support that:

  • Helps children and young people understand and manage their emotions
  • Equips them with the social skills to confidently engage with others
  • Improves academic outcomes for those at risk of exclusion
  • Enhances coping skills and social functioning for those living with mental ill-health
  • Connects parents with tailored support and intervention

Your donation will help us continue the work that began with personal investment and the support of family and friends. It will provide a safe space, a sense of hope, and a pathway to healing for young people and their families who need it most.

How Can You Get Involved?

We’re launching the TRS Village Challenge a community-powered fundraiser where YOU design your own challenge or event and share it with at least 10 friends. Whether it’s a walk, a bake sale, a digital detox, or a dance-a-thon, your creativity fuels our mission.

Here’s how to join:

  • Create your challenge - Make it fun, meaningful, or bold.
  • Share with 10+ friends - Spread the word and invite others to join the TRS Village by supporting your effort or creating their own challenge.
  • Raise funds - Every pound helps us build services.

Why It Matters

Every child deserves to feel safe, understood, and supported. By joining this campaign, you’re becoming part of a village that refuses to let vulnerable young people fall through the cracks. Together, we can build a TRS Village where healing, connection, and growth are possible.
