Bournemouth Bay Vitality Half Marathon‍

We are running to raise money in aid of Untapped (UK) CIO and every donation will help. Thank you in advance for your contribution to this cause that means so much to us.

Untapped need to raise £3000 to provide an Art Therapy Group for 8 vulnerable young people who are unable to attend mainstream school due to anxiety, trauma, or no provision being able to meet their SEN needs.

They are a charity in the Bournemouth area aiming to reduce youth suicide and self harm, bringing the gap between what families can afford and what teh NHS can provide. They specialise in working with neurodivergent children and young people, many of whom are out of school as no provision can be found to adequately meet their needs.

From Untapped Art Therapy:

Support our Art Therapy Group and help individuals unlock healing through creativity. Our sessions offer a safe space for participants to explore emotions, reduce stress, and build meaningful connections.

"Imagine being a young person who feels like they don’t belong anywhere. For 8 vulnerable children, this is their reality. Anxiety and trauma weigh them down, and their special needs are too complex for mainstream schools to accommodate. They are left feeling isolated, misunderstood, and lost.

We want to change their story. With your help, we aim to raise £3,000 to create an Art Therapy Group—an inviting, safe space where these children can express what they can’t always put into words. Through creativity and connection, they’ll begin to heal, rediscover their confidence, and feel like they belong again. This isn’t just about therapy; it’s about giving them back their hope."
