Story

We have been supporting people in the local community for over forty years. Many of our service users have experienced trauma. Counselling provides a safe space where people can begin to heal and recover from the trauma they have experienced.

£35 will cover the cost of us providing one month of counselling for a Valley House Service user.

£105 will cover the cost of us providing three months of counselling for a service user.

£210 will cover the cost of us providing six months of counselling for a service user.

Often, finding childcare is a barrier to people accessing support. Funds will also be used to cover childcare costs.

£22 will pay for one session of childcare so a Valley house parent can attend a group session on understanding the effects of domestic abuse on children.

£88 will pay for 4 sessions of childcare so that a Valley House parent can attend our Domestic Abuse Awareness group work programme.

Our last swim-a-thon raised a fantastic £1,400. This year, we need your help to beat that target. This year we'd like to raise £1,500.

Staff, service users and supporters are taking part in this swim-a-thon. They are training at least twice a week so that they can cover the 10-mile distance. Thats a total of 644 lengths.

Please donate to show your support for their hard work and dedication, and to help our service users recover from trauma.
