Testimonials

Since 2003 The Maypole Project has helped support over 1200 individual’s across South East England and Nationally.

Hear from the families at the heart of our work.

“Before accessing support, my daughter was really struggling. Since starting counselling, her mood has improved significantly, and her school attendance has also improved. It has just been invaluable to us. I was initially hesitant about counselling and unsure whether it would help. But the process has been so easy, and I’m constantly kept up to date with my daughter’s progress. I can raise concerns if needed, and the communication has been brilliant. The
counselling, and the faith in the process, has made a real difference”

“My daughter has really benefited from the online pain group; she now has peers in a similar position to her that can understand the impact pain has on their teenage life, she doesn’t feel so alone now. Previously she would never entertain an online meeting due to lack of confidence, but she now engages in conversation in the group and is happy to share her feelings and experiences. The evening out bowling was amazing for her. She doesn’t socialize outside of school, so she was nervous at the prospect of it but had a really lovely time. She felt comfortable to be herself around the other girls and staff and was able to relax enough to enjoy herself. She is already talking about hoping another will be organized, thank you The Maypole Project for organizing such a lifeline for her.”

We have also seen the power of collaboration in action, developing new referral pathways that will enable us to reach more families and deepening our relationship with partners and funders.

“Collaboration [between our organisations] has been good. As a member of our senior leadership group, I have been able to join a variety of meetings, but equally our contact officers and admin support have felt supported, heard, and able to link in with your teams and develop areas of our work together.”
