With the help of our supporters, this year Global’s Make Some Noise is changing over 21,000 lives in communities across the UK. We are funding projects that are helping those facing life’s toughest challenges, including providing 2880 hours of physiotherapy for pre-school children with physical disabilities or delay and 1800 specialist counselling sessions for people bereaved by suicide. We are also supporting 150 children in paediatric intensive care, and their families through music therapy, and offering vital support for 540 people who have been devastated by baby loss.
The cost-of-living crisis has led to many charities seeing an increase in demand for their services from struggling families at a time when their income is dropping and the cost of delivering these services is increasing. 92% of the charities we spoke to have seen an increase in need for support in the last year. Over half said that they have had to turn people away, refer them on or add them to a waiting list, with one charity reporting a waiting list of over 1,000 young people who could not access the vital support they needed.
Global’s Make Some Noise have helped small charities change over 200,000 lives over the last 10 years but it is getting harder for these amazing projects to keep up with the number of people who rely on them every day, we need your help to make sure that nobody is left facing life’s toughest challenges alone.
