Para 1.20 |
In addition to maintaining our face to face, telephone and on-line one-to-one counselling for clients and providing regular telephone care calls for people on our waiting list for counselling, we have been able to expand our charity’s activities. Through the efforts of our project and network lead, we held a number of network events throughout the year to include local communities such as Ravensthorpe Community center, Kirklees women’s network, Leeds Mind and the Huddersfield university health center. These connections have enable us to run miscarriage support groups, both at Talkthru and in local communities along with Birth Trauma support and provide baby loss awareness training for other groups working with women, including ‘Auntie Pams’. We were delighted to hold our 25thAnniversary celebrations in September 2024 We continue to be able to offer placements for counselling students from local universities. |

Para 1.41 | As finances have been available, we continue to make progress on our strategic plan to move towards a balanced workforce of both employees and volunteers. We have increased the number of office and counselling staff who are either contracted via service level agreements or are employed by the charity. |
