Beacon Bolton Counselling Service is currently pausing all counselling services while we undertake a period of organisational restructure.
This decision has not been taken lightly. Due to ongoing financial and operational challenges, the Trustees have agreed that the most responsible course of action is to temporarily pause service delivery so that we can focus on stabilising the charity and working towards a sustainable future.
During this time, we cannot accept new referrals or provide counselling support.
We know this may be disappointing or worrying, particularly if you are seeking support. If you are in crisis, or in need of immediate or alternative emotional support, please see the links below, which includes a range of local and national services who may be able to help.
The Trustees are committed to doing the work needed to secure the future of Beacon Bolton Counselling Service. Updates will be shared on this website when we are able to provide further information.
Thank you for your understanding and patience during this difficult period.
