Project Details:
Breakthru is a CIC that works with communities and individuals throughout Sandwell by bringing people together and encouraging wellbeing both mentally and physically. They run several projects including Beyond Blue counselling, Aman group and are an accredited centre to deliver training for the next generation of therapists.
Breakthru is one of the few providers around the country who offer EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitisation and Reprocessing) therapy to support those who have experienced severe trauma. They identified that to continue effectively delivering this therapy, they would need the appropriate equipment.
Breakthru have applied for CIL funding to purchase 2 therapy recliner chairs, projector, projector screen and projector mount. This equipment will be used during EMDR therapy to support those going through the therapy and will also be used in other projects that Breakthru run.
These new recliner chair and projector will enable the organisation to continue supporting local people with EMDR therapy and with running their other activities, such as Beyond Blue counselling and their Aman group.
Amount of CIL funding being requested is £1,588.92
