About Our Charity
For more than 30 years, Compass has worked with local children, youth, and families by providing free mental health, developmental, and community services in the Districts of Sudbury and Manitoulin. Donations to Compass’ Charity expands the reach and level of care we are able to provide kids within our communities. Your donation will directly support the more than 2000 local youth and families that rely on these free services each year. Beyond supporting Compass programming, your donation can also support crucial services at the Sudbury Youth Wellness Hub, the Client Experience Fund, the Brighter Minds Bursary and more.

- What is the Client Experience Fund?
The Client Experience Fund supports clients in a variety of ways including providing wellness kits, school supplies, recreational activities or equipment or to support other clinically-identified needs. This fund was created to fill the gaps that are preventing youth and families from reaching their full potential. This fund supports clients of both Compass and the Sudbury Youth Wellness Hub.

The Sudbury Youth Wellness Hub is an integrated “one-stop-shop” that addresses a gap in care for 12-25 year olds.
