In April 2007 we were once again successful in obtaining a grant from The Local Network Fund (LNF). LNF funding has allowed us to continue with the  Adolescent Project giving counselling sessions to young people in our area free of charge and without having to put them on a long waiting list.

Lloyd TSB Founadation have generously awarded Kernos with funding to finance an extra 300 counselling sessions from March 2007 until March 2008.

This extra funding will enable us to reduce the  waiting list time which had grown to 8 months at the beginning of this year. This project will mean that the waiting list will be significantly reduced so that we can offer support when people are vunerable and in need.

Great news, the Centre has been awarded a most generous grant towards our project 'Stopping the Abusive Cycle' by the Suffolk Country Council Single Gateway European and Social Fund – Global Grants scheme. We are extremely grateful for this funding which will enable us to deliver a programme to work with victims of abuse as soon as they are referred.

Cathy Press, one of the Kernos Centre's counsellors has parachute from a plane to raise funds for the Charity.

When asked why she was doing this Cathy replied " because I feel passionately that people should be able to get counselling when they need, and not be excluded on the grounds they can't afford to pay for it." Kernos receives no government funding and relies on donations, grants, fundraising and fees from clients who can pay.
