A READING charity that helps young people navigate modern life has received a donation to help fund its work.
No5 Young People provides free and confidential mental health support, counselling and outreach for people aged 11-25 across the RG postcode area.
Every year, it supports more than 1,700 young people and their families.
In 2022, that included offering counselling to 722 young people, running 11 mental health workshops, and supporting 24 young people who were at risk of permanent exclusion from school.
In all, it offered 8.549 counselling sessions last year.
And thanks to a £500 donation from members of Pangbourne Rotary Club, it will be able to offer up to 20 weeks of counselling to another young person, with sessions running in-person, online or over the phone.
Carly Newman, operations and relationships manager thanked the Rotary Club Of Pangbourne for their generosity.
