Our clients were given time and space to process their situation, and were offered non-directive, non-judgemental support in their moment of need.

Our Step-by-Step ten week programme was provided to one of our postabortion clients.

Local GPs are regularly informing pregnant women of our service. We signpost clients to other services including: community groups, NHS services, abortion providers and specialist charities. Practical support is available should our clients need/request it.
