Story

Crossreach helped me when I was at my lowest. Without the long term donation based counselling they provided, I genuinely wouldn't  be where I am now. 

I'm not sporty, I'm terrible at video games, and I'm scared of heights so sky diving and bungee jumping are out. Obviously, the only thing left is to shave my head. 

I will look truly terrible with a shaved head, but the fact that my mental health is good enough for that is testament to Crossreach and the counselling I received from them. I can honestly say that this charity saved my life.

Counselling and family support are needed now more than ever. CrossReach helps over 1,000 people each year through counselling programmes that are free to those who need it. Your donations help to ensure that we can continue to offer this service in locations across Scotland. Thank you!
