Trauma Breakthrough: Our Holiday Season Update!


Happy Holiday Season!

You haven't heard much from us in the last couple months as winter has snuck up on us, but we've been busy behind the scenes! We've been running our programmes and groups to help people feel less isolated in the darker months as well as fundraising!

Our new team members have settled in well and we have also welcomed a new therapist, Jane, on board.

Can you help?


It's been a tough year financially for the charity. It costs £275,768 per year to maintain Trauma Breakthrough’s services at full capacity, and due to limited availability of grant funding, and the cancellation of multiple fundraising events due to weather and storms, this Christmas we are facing a £70,000 deficit and are struggling to make ends meet to continue to offer free counselling, groups and support into 2025.

We are still working really hard to make our way through our waiting list and support everyone in a field that is really struggling with delays.  
This means we really need your support too to help us balance costs while continuing to make a difference to those in need.

Please donate anything you can to help us continue our mission, it's really valued, and right now, every £1 matters.

Gift giving!

 
This year with the support of Jimmy's Iced Coffee and Topping & Company Booksellers, we've been able to give some amazing gifts to our service users to help take some self care time over the festive period by settling down with a book and a coffee.
Below are just a handful of the gifts we were able to give out, and the team and our service users are so grateful for everyone's generosity.

New items in the shop!


As it is the lead up to Christmas we have put some new items in our shop including gel bead stress balls, LED optic wands and fidget toys for those experiencing anxiety over the festive period. You can buy these items all year round for yourself or for others who may benefit from some grounding help - and as well as being low cost, each order will help support us too!

Volunteer opportunities

 
Having just celebrated international volunteers day on Dec 5th, we wanted to remind you of our upcoming opportunities to support us:

Bath Half Marathon is getting ever closer and we still need people to represent us! Raising awareness for the work we do by running in our shirts is really important in helping us to continue offering support.
