I am pleased to give you information about the three charities that I have chosen to support during my Mayoral year. They are all focused on young people, who are our future, and who have had a particularly difficult time during the pandemic.
Since 2003, Winchester Youth Counselling has helped over 2000 young people living in the District of Winchester.
Each year, their referrals increase but values remain the same as they continue to offer non-judgemental, confidential support to those young people and make a positive difference to their lives.
They offer: Face to face counselling, Online counselling, Walk and Talk therapy and Nature Therapy in conjunction with Hampshire & Isle of Wight Wildlife Trust.
