About This Cause
Just Drop-In was established as a charity (1081416) in late 1999 but first opened its doors in 2000. Our Mission has remained unchanged and we seek to “Benefit the young people of Macclesfield and surrounding areas by establishing a centre which will provide: • A welcoming and comfortable environment hosted by volunteers from the community • A one stop centre providing assistance and information relating to their needs • Expert advice from the voluntary and statutory agencies represented/working in the centre • coordinated access to information, such as, education, employment, training, housing, health, benefits and leisure matters” Our work is governed by a committed Trustee Team, and delivered by a qualified and experienced paid staff group supported by an indispensable volunteer team of up to 60 people. Our six key aims include: • removing red tape and promoting quick and easy access to our services • ensuring our work is outcome focused, based on best evidence and built around need • providing a person centered, professional, transparent and accountable approach • promoting and valuing our localism, celebrating community involvement and volunteering • reducing stigma, promoting resilience and seeking to intervene early where ever possible • encouraging young people to have a voice and actively participate in the life of the charity Across our Well-Being and Counselling Services we deliver: • A free counselling service open six days a week including two evenings from six locations • A drop-in information and support service open six days a week • A life-skills kitchen diner • Mentoring and Well-Being Support Groups • We are an active partner within the multi-agency Cheshire East Emotionally Healthy Schools Project • Encouraging coproduction, involvement and inclusion through our Young Advisory Board Our three year forward Strategic Priorities are: 1. Reach and make an impact in the lives of the most disadvantaged children and young people within our communities. 2. Empower and support parents and carers to make a positive difference in the lives of their children. 3. Improve our approaches to meaningful participation of children and young people in the development of our service. 4. Strengthen our support to local schools We work to a comprehensive Fundraising Strategy which is reviewed annually. In the next 12 months we are seeking sustainable funding sources for our Mentoring Service and also short term capital funding towards the costs of our larger premises.
