Dear [Member of the Scottish Parliament’s Name],
I am a concerned constituent and a supporter of Edinburgh Children’s Hospital Charity (ECHC). I would like to discuss The Haven, ECHC’s East Lothian-based children’s mental health service, and its survival in the community.
With mental health services stretched to breaking point, The Haven is a vital service that offers support to the whole family, helping them through the challenges that having a child who struggles with their mental health can bring. It’s free, it’s inclusive and there is no waiting list.
Are you familiar with The Haven and the essential services it offers? I strongly encourage you to visit to gain a deeper understanding of why continued and increased support is urgent and needed now. Please contact hello@echcharity.org or call 0131 668 4949 to arrange your visit.
The Haven is a two year pilot, currently entering its second year. If ECHC is unable to find funding, it will close. Your support and advocacy for The Haven will make all the difference.
With your help, we can tackle the children’s mental health crisis and ensure every child who needs one can access a Haven in their local community, so noone ever has to feel like they have nowhere to turn.
Please visit the Haven. Please give it your support. Contact hello@echcharity.org today.
Yours sincerely,
[Your Name]
