Comic Relief, EastEnders and Brandon Centre….!!

We’re absolutely thrilled to have been part of the Comic Relief and EastEnders special 5-minute episode that aired during Comic Relief: Funny for Money on Friday night!

The episode powerfully captured the mental health struggles and situations that many of the young people we support face. You may have seen the character Andy speak about accessing therapy after becoming homeless in a hostel — a direct reference to the outreach therapy work we provide in two local Islington homeless hostels.

Even more special, our amazing therapist Aaron, who delivers this service, was interviewed by Davina McCall — highlighting not only the challenges young people experience but also the incredible impact of the work being done at Brandon Centre.

A huge thank you to Comic Relief and Eastenders for this amazing opportunity to showcase our work. We’re so proud to be part of something that’s bringing these important conversations into the spotlight.

If you missed it, you can catch up now on BBC iPlayer!
