good morning bigmoose community member,
you probably didn’t realise you were part of our community, but you definitely are, by showing up, every week, you show you are like minded, and that you care about others.
so on behalf of me and chloe, and our awesome team of josie, louise, elin and gemma, thank you.
and also as we do a bigmoose wrap up of 2024, the biggest thanks is from the people you will never meet.
the people that your support has helped.
people that have been struggling with their mental health.
some people who have reached crisis point.
some people who have been in very dark places.
but together, we have given them hope.
hope to carry on.
hope that things will get better, and that those dark feelings are temporary.
so in this final blog of 2024 i wanted to share some information with you that you might know about our work.
for example, here is the coverage of the uk that we have, with over 200 locations where we have provided help.
pretty amazing for such a tiny charity, i feel very much that we are punching above our weight, and hope to continue increasing our reach in 2025.
and whilst it’s not a competition, we are out performing many other mental health bodies, which only confirms that our work and style of delivery is really needed and important.
and here is an infographic we have been working on, with an amazing statistic that shows that our average amount of therapy sessions required is only 3.87, phenomenal when you think about it, and testament to the style of therapy we employ, human givens, and the brilliance of our team of therapists.
but to humanise these statistics, having recently sat on the couches in our office with parents of a young man who had taken his life, and hearing them say how they wished they had known about bigmoose, we still have a great amount of work ahead.
every therapy session including admin, averages a cost of £100, and if you think that is only £387 to help someone come through their struggles, this is such a small amount, but with our referrals growing to 254 per month, you can see how our sustained speed of service is costly.
so at this festive time, where we all focus a little more on giving and helping others, on behalf of those mothers, fathers, children, siblings, friends, coworkers, that don’t have a voice, if you can help us provide them with the life changing, and potentially life saving help, we would love you to sign up to pledge a monthly donation, of any size, as this will allow us to continue to perform and provide this amazing service to everyone who needs it.
also, for the competitive among you, we have never had more than 7 monthly donor signups in a month, so today you have the chance to blow our teams christmas socks off, by showing them what a brilliant community we have, and how you believe in us.
here is a link for you to help us provide others with hope, and guaranteed warm fuzzy feelings, and thank you in advance.
and whilst i am asking for help, i am not unaware that the holiday season can often be very lonely, and quite an emotional time, so if you or anybody you know needs help, please click the link below, or signpost those in need, we are working every day, and will be providing hope 365.
thank you for sharing our incredible journey so far, have a great holiday season, and i’ll see you in the new year.
bigmoose love,
blue skies,
jeff
