Im running to help support Mindsum CIC

When an new outlet joins the BillyChip® scheme we send them a starter box which contains 25 chips, 1x window stickers, 2x big stickers, 1x foam strut card, 2x cardboard strut cards, 3x A4 posters and 40x BillyChip decals. This means they now have all the bits needed to be able to provide a hot drink or food for the rough sleepers to spread a little kindness and compassion. 

If leprosy is suspected, the sooner a diagnosis happens, the better, as then the patient can begin treatment as soon as possible. This reduces the risk of them suffering from long term health issues caused by this disease such as losing fingers or toes, or other disfigurements. 

Little ones expecting a baby to arrive home and then not understanding why this hasn’t happened may struggle with their emotions, school and everyday life. We want to help relieve the stresses of dealing with this alongside your loss and therefore have developed a Play Therapy Service for our families.

Play therapy is a therapeutic approach developed to help children between the ages of three to twelve years old.

Our therapists work with a child to explore and resolve any issues around the loss of their sibling through the therapeutic use of play. This involves using toys, drawings, story telling and other creative tools in order to help heal the child in a positive and creative way.

It is crucial that people who have been affected by leprosy are provided with the means with which to secure a livelihood. A sewing machine means that they can work as a tailor and mend clothes, giving them both an income and a purpose within their community. 

During Easter holiday we provide young people and children with skills, education and food. We will focused on giving each child the chance to explore their creativity

A wellbeing pack can include items such as a mug, a journal, a photo frame, art euiptment, a book/ cook book, games etc to help make a house a home.

The people we support love to take part in art activities of all sorts and we regularly go through lots of supplies. It would be great if you could support us in purchasing some extra equipment; things like paint, pens, pencils, easels, canvses, clay, tools etc.
