The £1000 funding grant from Ecclesiastical will enable us to provide 20 counselling sessions for people with a life limiting illness or their carers who are struggling emotionally, as a result of either their own diagnosis, or that of their loved one. Our counsellors are specially trained to listen and respond empathically to help people who are having difficulties and are distressed. We have found such distress has increased during the long periods of isolation brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic, which has added to that caused by trying to manage a life limiting illness. This counselling will enable people to come to terms with their difficulties and start to work through them, reducing distress and anxiety.
