About CASY |
 |
CASY (Counselling and Support for Young People) is a registered charity and is currently funded to offer a confidential counselling and support to young people aged 6 to 24 within the Newark and Sherwood and Bassetlaw Districts of North Nottinghamshire and also in Lincolnshire. The service offers young people an opportunity to speak to a trained counsellor in confidence about any issue of importance to them. Counselling sessions may end after just a few sessions, or may continue over many months.
Each Counsellor has been carefully selected for their experience and their ability to understand the pressures and conflicts young people face today. All Counsellors and staff of CASY are checked through the Criminal Records Bureau to assess their suitability to work with young people. |

 CASY is proud to announce Barabara Wilkinson, retired family director of home and garden retailer, Wilkinsons, as the charity’s new patron. Barbara Wilkinson said "The twenty first century has brought new pressures on young people - pressures to perform, pressures to conform and pressures to demonstrate they are adults perhaps before they are ready. This is a free service to any young person between six and nineteen and can even help those beyond that age. It has the backing of many local organisations and I am sure it will have an increasingly important role in helping young people at a time when their lives are not just in transition but often in turmoil."
A family owned firm, Wilkinsons prides itself on being a community focused retailer, actively supporting local charities and empowering its team members to support great causes that are locally important to them.
