Child & Adolescent Mental Health Service (CAMHS) receive fantastic support from The Woolpack Rachel Nash, land lady of The Woolpack in Rothwell, and some of her brave customers, posed for a fun ‘Calendar Girls’ photo-shoot for their own calendar, one for the men and one for the ladies!
The calendars were sold and raised an amazing £300!
The donation has been used to research the views from young people, parents and carers to help develop an on-line live chat support service for users for when they feel they need extra support.
The research offered an incentive to win a £50 Amazon Voucher from the prize draw once they had completed the questionnaire.
Well done to Vanessa - the winner of the £50 Amazon voucher!
Vanessa is keen to support developing the service as she is a former user; she also has a family member who is currently receiving support from CAMHS too.

The on-line live chat has been designed for easy access for service users and to be more responsive to them.
Users are able to chat confidentially to skilled and experienced mental health professionals for support them when they need it.
Also it aims to reduce the number of times users have to tell their story.
The launch of this fantastic new service is expected in the early spring!
A big thank you to the Woolpack, without your donation we wouldn't have got this far and also to all who completed the survey, this has been invaluable in helping the team build the service.
