by David Best, SSW Counsellor
Firstly we want to thank The National Lottery Community Fund for agreeing to continue funding our Wellbeing and Counselling Service at SSW. Without the money they have provided, these essential services would not have been (or continue to be) possible. The past two years have demonstrated how valuable specialist sight loss counselling is for our members.
I also want to thank my colleagues for their ongoing support and encouragement. I am truly privileged to be part of such an amazing team of such genuine individuals. Last, but not least, I want to thank all the members who have engaged with the Wellbeing and Counselling Service and for all your valuable feedback. This helps us understand your needs and enables us to continue providing the most appropriate support.
We are now starting to expand our current services to include the provision of support groups for members and their families; we have identified various issues and topics that many of our members have in common. We also recognize that there are minority groups that have experiences that are unique to them. We want to provide people with the opportunity to explore their issues, experiences and ideas in a group setting in a safe and supportive environment.
