📢 Important update

Due to the high demand for our services, we have made the difficult decision to temporarily pause all new referrals while we work to secure the funding needed to continue providing sustainable, high-quality support to the Showmen community.

💗⚠️ If you are currently receiving support or therapy through the charity, this will not affect you. Your existing support will continue as normal.

This pause is about making sure we can continue to be here for our community in the long term. Since our charity was founded, we have supported over 300 Showmen through therapy and provided more than 3,600 fully funded counselling sessions.

We are incredibly proud of what we have achieved together, but demand continues to grow, and we need your help to reopen referrals.

There are several ways you can support us:

🩷 Join our 200 Club
🩷 Make a donation
🩷 Get in touch to discuss how you can help

Every donation, fundraiser and new supporter brings us one step closer to welcoming new referrals again.

💭 Sometimes, we all need a reminder.

Looking after your mental health is just as important as looking after every other part of life. Whether you're checking in with yourself or someone else, a small conversation can make a big difference.

📢 Important Update from the Showmen’s Mental Health Awareness Charity 📢

Dear all,

We want to let you know that, due to ongoing funding challenges, the Showmen’s Mental Health Awareness Charity has made the difficult decision to temporarily pause all new referrals, effective immediately.

This decision has not been taken lightly. Our priority has always been to provide safe, consistent, accessible and culturally appropriate mental health support to the Showmen community. To continue delivering the high standard of care our community deserves, we must ensure that any support we offer is sustainable.

What does this mean?

📌 No new referrals will be accepted until our financial position is stable enough to support them.

📌 This will not affect anyone currently receiving support or therapy through the charity. All existing therapy and support arrangements will continue as normal.

Since the charity was founded, we have funded over 300 Showmen through therapy, providing more than 3,600 fully funded counselling sessions. We are incredibly proud of what we have achieved together, but demand for our services continues to grow, and sustainable funding is now essential if we are to continue supporting our community into the future.

How you can help us reopen referrals

Every donation, fundraiser and new supporter brings us one step closer to welcoming new referrals again.

We sincerely hope this pause will be temporary and will share further updates as soon as we are in a position to reopen referrals.

Thank you for your continued kindness, understanding and support. Together, we can ensure this vital service continues for future generations of Showmen.
