WE ARE WINNERS!!! 🌟 🥳 Last night we were awarded by Children & Young People Now as WINNERS of The Early Intervention Award at the #CYPNowawards! We are so proud of our team for getting the recognition they deserve. Thank you for all your hard work this year – both in schools and in the back office! This award means the world - especially at a time when we’re out there making the case that young people with experience of trauma deserve the very best support to thrive, both in school and beyond. We’re encouraged by this award as we continue to invest in intensifying our programme and our blossoming youth participation work. We were also shortlisted for the Mental Health and Wellbeing category, which was awarded to the amazing The Children's Society for Pause, a wellbeing drop-in service for under-25s in Birmingham. And of course, huge respect and kudos to the other inspiring shortlisted charities Boxwise, Chance UK, Bridges Outcomes Partnerships and LifeLine Projects. Huge thanks to Children & Young People Now for giving us this opportunity and to Nora Russell (our brilliant head of Fundraising & Comms) and Laurie Martin (our new chair) for attending and representing us last night!

Reducing School Exclusions, Improving Mental Health
About us
Khulisa is an award-winning charity delivering mental health and wellbeing support to under-served young people (11-25). Through our programmes, we work to improve the confidence, resilience and coping skills of children at risk of exclusion from schoool, helping them to fulfil their true potential. Khulisa – ‘to nurture’ in Zulu – represents our South African heritage and our core belief that everyone, no matter their background, has the capacity to learn and grow in a safe, nurturing environment. We believe that schools, communities and government need a much more joined-up approach to help people escape the cycle of social exclusion. With this, we are pushing for policy changes, so that we better support our schools and communities to reduce social exclusion and crime, and create a safer, more inclusive society.

The campaign ends in a few hours, so don't forget to get your donations in ASAP to help us make double the difference (find the link in the comments). Rest up Jodie - wishing you a speedy recovery!
Turns out that slipped disc was a bulged disc and gave me a rare condition.. ended up having emergency spinal surgery on Wednesday 🥴😮 I'm recovering well, walking already (taking it slow though😅) and there are no long term effects 🥳. So grateful to the NHS, who were truly incredible - from results to specialist surgery in less than 24 hours!! I'm very supported by my friends and the wonderful team and board at Khulisa ❤️ Just wanted to post a little message to update as I felt so warm and grateful from everyone's response to my last post and very generous donations to Khulisa matched giving campaign. Thankyou all and I'll be in touch to properly message when I'm back fully. Also if you haven't given and wanted to..it's the last day to get your donation doubled so get those donations in!! 🙌🏼💃
