£1,350 was raised for No Limits’ COSMO service, which provides support for children of substance misusers.
No Limits also offers a wide range of other services for young people – from advice on housing, benefits and debt, to sexual health and relationships services, homelessness services and employment-seeking support.
And it says demand for its services is soaring.
Fundraising officer Natalie Hutchins said: “More now than ever, young people are turning to No Limits for help. It is fantastic that more local companies are helping us meet this growing need and we are very grateful to them all. Any support, however small, is welcome and goes directly to helping young people in Southampton help themselves.”
Southampton’s In Balance Hot Yoga studio also raised £470 for No Limits from a Yoga open day with classes, workshops and talks around healthy eating, mindfulness and meditation.
Yoga teacher and body and mind coach Benedita Sousa said it was “important that we would be able to support a charity that supports children with their mental health as yoga plays a big role in improving people’s mental health. We are looking forward to our next event and supporting No Limits further.”
