At YMCA Bournemouth, we are committed to providing essential mental health support to individuals and families in our community through our Full Circle Counselling Service.

We are asking for your help to raise £10,000 to continue offering free and subsidised counselling to those who need it most.

Who We Support

• Housing Support Clients: Individuals and families facing housing challenges.

• Chatterboxes: Young people with disabilities.

• Family Support Services: Families in need of guidance and mental health support.

Contact Centre Families: Families navigating difficult situations requiring additional support.

In addition to our free services, we also offer low-cost counselling for BCP (Bournemouth, Christchurch, and Poole) residents, ensuring that mental health care is accessible to all.

Our Impact

Currently, our counselling service is supporting 75 children and adults, providing 2799 sessions last year, with 1686 of those subsidised by YMCA Bournemouth. These sessions have made a real difference in the lives of individuals and families, helping them overcome challenges, improve mental well-being, and build stronger futures.

How Your Donation Helps

Every donation helps us to provide 12 to 24 sessions with a trained counsellor for a person in need. With your support, we can continue to help those facing mental health challenges, whether they are children, families, or individuals in crisis.

Join Us in Supporting the BCP Community

The BCP Strategic Assessment (2023/24) reveals BCP has a higher than England average rate for measures associated with poor mental health, for both adults and young people.

Your donation will go directly to supporting local people, helping them access affordable and professional mental health support.

Every pound raised will have a direct impact on the lives of those we serve.

Together, we can make a difference.

Please donate today and help us continue this vital work for the BCP community.

Thank you for your generosity and support!
