Support Our Mission: Gift a Kit and Sponsor a School Schemes!

​

At S&L Self-Harm Distraction Kits, we are dedicated to supporting individuals who struggle with self-harm through the provision of our specialised safety kits. To ensure that these resources reach those in need, we operate two vital schemes funded entirely by donations and our fundraising efforts.

​

1. Gift a Kit Scheme

​

Our Gift a Kit Scheme allows us to send S&L Self-Harm Safety Kits to individuals facing financial hardship. We believe that everyone deserves access to the support they need, regardless of their financial situation. With your generous donations, we can provide these essential kits, filled with resources and first aid designed to help individuals cope with their emotions in healthier ways, and manage their self-harm safely.

Every donation, no matter the amount, is deeply appreciated and makes a significant difference in the lives of those we serve. Together, we can help break the cycle of self-harm and promote healing in our community.

​

Donations can be made via the button below or paypal via : PayPal.Me/distractionkits   or our Go Fund Me page https://gofund.me/cebf63ad6

​

 Thank you!

2. Sponsor a School

​

Our Sponsor a School initiative invites businesses and individuals to make a direct impact in their local educational settings. For a contribution from just £37.50 plus £3.99 P&P, we can provide three S&L Self-Harm Distraction Kits to a school or educational setting of your choice, and a book into primary and junior schools. This scheme is designed to equip children and young people with practical tools and coping strategies, fostering resilience and emotional well-being, stopping self-harm in its tracks.

By sponsoring a school, you’re not just making a donation, you’re investing in the mental health of students and helping to create a supportive environment where they can thrive. Your support enables us to reach more schools and, ultimately, more young lives.

Barnaby the Worry Monster - Our Children's Book

​

Every child has worries. Some are small, while others can feel far too big to carry alone.

Barnaby the Worry Monster is a gentle, heartwarming children's book that helps young readers understand that difficult feelings are a normal part of life, and that talking about them is one of the bravest things they can do.

Written with warmth and sensitivity, the story subtly explores emotional struggles without being overwhelming. It encourages children to recognise their feelings, develop healthy coping strategies, and know that they never have to face their worries alone.

Perfect for children aged 8+, families, schools, and professionals, Barnaby the Worry Monster opens the door to important conversations about emotional wellbeing in a safe, age-appropriate way.

Supporting Emotional Wellbeing Beyond the Story

​

The book pairs beautifully with our Self-Harm Distraction Boxes, practical resources designed to help children, young people, and adults manage overwhelming emotions through healthy distraction and positive coping techniques.

While the distraction boxes were created with self-harm prevention in mind, they are equally valuable for anyone experiencing anxiety, emotional distress, or intense feelings. Together, the book and distraction boxes provide a compassionate approach to encouraging emotional resilience, self-expression, and seeking support when it's needed.

Whether you're a parent, teacher, therapist, or caregiver, these resources are designed to help create safe conversations, build healthy coping skills, and remind every child that their feelings matter, and that there is always hope.

Because every worry deserves to be heard, and every child deserves the tools to cope in a healthy, positive way.

​

Help Us Put Barnaby into the Hands of Children Who Need Him Most

​

Every child experiences worries, but for some, those worries can become overwhelming. Barnaby the Worry Monster was created to gently encourage children to understand their emotions, talk about their feelings, and discover healthy ways to cope before those feelings become too much.

Alongside the book, our Self-Harm Distraction Boxes provide practical, positive resources that support children, young people, and adults in managing difficult emotions safely. Together, these resources help open conversations, build emotional resilience, and remind children that they are never alone.

​

Your Support Can Change a Child's Story

​

Our goal is simple: to place Barnaby the Worry Monster books and Self-Harm Distraction Boxes into schools, community groups, and organisations where they can reach children who need them most.

To do that, we rely on the kindness and generosity of our supporters.

Whether you donate £1, £5, £20, or choose to fundraise on our behalf, every single penny makes a difference. Small donations may seem insignificant on their own, but together they add up to create something truly powerful, helping us provide life-changing resources to children and young people who may otherwise go without.

Every donation helps us:

• Provide books to schools and educational settings.

• Supply Self-Harm Distraction Boxes to children and young people who need extra support.

• Raise awareness of healthy coping strategies and emotional wellbeing.

• Encourage open conversations that can help children feel heard, understood, and supported.

No contribution is ever too small. Every penny raised brings us one step closer to reaching another child, another classroom, another family, and another community.

Together, we can ensure that more children have access to the support, encouragement, and hope they deserve.

Because every child deserves to know that their worries matter, their voice matters, and help is always within reach.
