It’s clear that the number of people struggling with their mental health is on the rise. The number of young people and adults living in poverty or facing unemployment has also increased considerably in recent years. 

Every day, we see the impact: more people of all ages and backgrounds are needing help to cope with what life throws at them. But severe cuts in the funding of mental health services mean that every year, we have less resources to deal with an ever-growing list of people needing our help.   

We know that counselling empowers people to make important changes, and in an ideal world we would be able to deliver affordable counselling to everyone that needs it. Your donations go a long way in helping us to make this a reality.
