THE Windmill Trust have teamed up with Wigton Youth Station to create a young person’s wellbeing space that both charities can use to support young people.

The space will be used during the day for psychotherapy sessions for children and young people who have experienced difficult life events but who are unable to access support through statutory services.  

Children who have experienced multiple challenges in their lives, usually find it difficult to put their experiences into words, to connect with their emotions and build healthy relationships.  

The Windmill Trust is a new charity that has been set up by two specialist therapists with over thirty five years of experience within this field.

Pip Chapman, Project Manager at The Windmill Trust said “We’re just so grateful to Wigton Youth Station for working with us to create this space that will make our work possible. Without them many young people in the area would have nowhere to go in the evenings where they can be heard and understood, which would undoubtedly lead to more likelihood of mental health issues in the young people of this town.”
