Support renew
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.

HOW YOUR DONATION
SUPPORTS RENEW
On average, our counsellors deliver around 1200 sessions of counselling a month, which works out as about 720,000 minutes of counselling a year. Our counsellors help people with issues including depression, anxiety, eating disorders and others. Many of the people that come to see us may not have been able to afford counselling without our support. Your donation will ensure that someone in need of help gets the service that they need.
We’ve always been aware of the importance of counselling, but in the wake of the pandemic in particular, we’ve seen that it is a lifeline for many. We’ve spoken to people that feel low, unable to leave their homes and are plagued by anxiety as a result of the pandemic.
This impact on mental health will be felt for years to come, and your donation can help us to support the many people who will need us.
Each counselling session costs us £48.00 to deliver. We receive some funding from various organisations, and clients contribute what they can afford towards their sessions. However, the cost of delivering counselling is £100,000 more than we raise each year. Your donation, however big or small, will go a long way in helping us to continue providing our vital service.

CORPORATE SPONSORSHIP

- Build links with your local community. Affirming the company’s attitude to social responsibility creates the appropriate narrative regarding your relationship with your community.
