Situation
Loneliness is the biggest disability for any child to experience. We know that the best way to challenge and overcome this is to bring together a committed group of people - chosen by the child - who share the vision of a better, more productive and meaningful life. The Circle of Support acts as a committed think tank that share the responsibility of guiding and planning with the child - walking alongside them to achieve their dreams. This funding will create a network of facilitators across the East of England who will work with children, enabling them to: * End their loneliness * Give them a direction in life * Have a 'voice' * Build real friendships * Be in control £800,000 will fund 20 facilitators across the 10 Local Authority regions in the East. This will go a long way towards Circles Network achieving our vision.
