HearSay is very grateful for their support to the HearSay Charitable trust March 2026 towards enabling the charity to continue our subsidised counselling for our clients.
HearSay celebrated its 21st birthday at Little Fant Farm’s Summer Fest on Sunday 10th August. Our Founder, Dr Kitty Morgan-Jones, joined us to oversee the draw for the raffle and also cut a celebratory cake back at our stall.
HearSay volunteers staffed the stall, offering children the chance to guess the name of the Teddy, guess how many lollies were in the pot and take part in the farm trail. The tombola and raffle were also a great success with families. In addition, we were able to publicise the counselling service that we offer and raise funds to support that work.
We are very grateful to Little Fant Farm for their continuing support in allowing us to have a stall at the annual Fest and indicating that support in their advertising.
In 2025 HearSay intends extending their service by running more Parent Support Groups in Schools and a Parent Support Group at Marsham St, Maidstone.
HearSay is very grateful to the Colyer Fergusson Charitable Trust for awarding a major grant to support our counselling work, in particular enabling us to establish Parent Support Groups for parents of children with mental health, behavioural or emotional difficulties including those with ADHD and/or Autism Spectrum Disorders.
We are also most grateful to the following organisations for supporting HearSay’s fundraising activities:
Tesco Grovegreen Maidstone selected HearSay Charitable Trust to benefit from the sale of second hand books in store during the month of October 2023.
HearSay was very grateful to receive the procedes of the sale of the books from Tina Deveron.

HearSay has completed Crossroads support groups, facilitated by two of our counsellors for the Young Carers Group and for a Parents Support group, both of which were successful. Crossroads wish to continue the parents support group.
The HearSay Trust is currently providing a Parent Support service to Bower Grove School facilitated by one of Hearsay’s counsellors for the next academic year.
Bower Grove school reports that parents attending have found the group very useful, “allowing them to talk and meet fellow parents”
According to Bower Grove school
“Some of the parents have set up links and have met with their children outside school for coffee.
Thus, strengthening their own support network.”
