TEENS IN CRISIS 

Teens in Crisis (TIC+) is a Christian based charity that provides counselling services to children and young people in Gloucestershire aged 9-21 and their families. We operate under the working name TIC+ as our work now extends beyond Teenagers. We also provide Workshops for student groups.
Analysis by Giving is Great

Positives:
