Amethyst in the Wider Community

Amethyst is delighted to be able to support local charity The Lowdown, who each year face an uphill struggle to achieve the funding they need for their services.

Over the years we have helped them with occasional donations, but when invited to their AGM last year, Lisa was able to see at first hand the sort of support that they give. We have therefore strengthened our commitment at the start of 2009 by setting up a regular monthly payment. We hope that this will help them secure and develop some of these services.

This is how they describe themselves:-

The Lowdown – meeting the needs of young people in Northamptonshire

“The Lowdown is a voluntary organisation providing a multi-disciplinary support service to young people aged 12 to 25 years. Our belief is that no young person should experience mental or physical ill health unsupported. We provide a safe, friendly, non judgemental, confidential place for young people, enabling them to make decisions and choices to fulfil their potential and make their lives happier.

We offer information, counselling and support on any issue including - relationships, sexual health, mental and physical health, eating disorders, anger, abuse, bereavement, accommodation and education.”
