Our CEO Vanessa introduces our 2022-23 impact report
Having just started at Chance UK, I can take none of the credit forwhat the team has achieved in the past year. What I can do, though, is take an outsider’s look at the huge strides Chance UK has taken in 12 months. In recent years, as a society, we’ve discussed the crisis in young people’s mental health, and watched our children struggle with the world around them more and more each year. But we can change this narrative.
This report demonstrates the fundamental difference Chance UK’s mentoring can play in the lives of young people. To access this, a child doesn’t need a diagnosis, and (unlike some statutory services) they don’t need to wait to get worse. By reaching children earlier, offering them intensive support fast, Chance UK can help and make a huge difference.
We focus on helping children develop a senseof themselves – building emotional language and understanding, supporting self-esteem,and helping them realise their potential. And it works. We see the change, from improved behaviour at home and school to increased school attendance and improved wellbeing… and, much more importantly, happier children who are ready to face their future.
Please, take a moment to read our impact report, to see the difference we can make in children’s lives, together
