A Message From the Chair of Trustees...

"As a small charity, 40 Degreez punches way above its weight. Working with young people, some of them neurodiverse having special needs or just simply trying to become functioning young adults, the work we do aims to make positive and sustainable changes. Beyond being parented or cared for, schooled in the class or at home, we find young people need a safe space and an unstinting listening ear, one that carries no judgemental perception. If young people want to talk, we listen, if they don’t, we wait until they want to. In the meantime, we seek to understand their challenges and then patiently work with them in a variety of appropriate ways to help them through their life journey, always alert to move quickly if needed to ensure their ongoing safety."

Iwan Borszcz - Chair of Trustees, 40 Degreez
