We are delighted to announce that our recent Charity Golf Day raised a fantastic sum of £4300 to help improve the mental health & emotional wellbeing of 3,200 children & young people and their families in Bedfordshire & Herts!

A brilliant day of golf was enjoyed by all the teams – check out the video and gallery below.

As well as our 16 corporate sponsors, 16 teams and 64 golfers, we’d like to thank Chesfield Downs for hosting the event and all of the BNI Herts of Oak Chapter members who volunteered on the day – without you all, it wouldn’t have happened, nor been the fantastic day it was.

Congratulations to all the Prize Winners on the day

Thanks for your support as ever and here’s to the next one!

We are very grateful to our sponsors:

You can help CHUMS to change this, so that children who need support CAN access it.

We are asking for schools, nurseries and organisations across Bedfordshire and Luton to take part in SHINE BRIGHT, WEAR BRIGHT.  School children, staff and customers are encouraged to talk about mental health, being kind and being ourselves, ending the week with a non-uniform ‘wear bright’ day with children and staff donating £1 to CHUMS. Schools, nurseries and organisations can also take part in other fundraising activities such as a talent show, a sponsored silence, cake sales or sponsored football events.

In 2022 we are asking everyone to take part in SHINE BRIGHT, WEAR BRIGHT and fundraise vital funds for CHUMS and talk about mental health. The theme this year is #GrowingTogether. Pupils and adults are being asked to consider how they have grown and how they can help others to grow.

Wearing Bright can include brightly coloured hair, wigs, makeup, glitter or clothes.

CHUMS has been supporting children and young people for 24 years. In our first year we helped 40; in 2022 it will exceed 4,000 across every CHUMS service!

We are proud and thrilled to have been helping children and young people with their mental health and wellbeing since 1997 but to continue some of our services we need support from the local community.

CHUMS Charity services include:

• Trauma (bereavement and non-bereavement)
• Bedfordshire Suicide Bereavement Service (BSBS)
• Disability Friendship Scheme
• Recreational Therapy (therapy through music or football programmes)
• Babyloss
