We Hear You, the cancer counselling charity is now able to offer four counselling sessions a week from 10th March on Fridays at the Town Hall in Midsomer Norton. This work forms part of a BIG Lottery grant the charity has secured. To access this service, please contact Frome-based We Hear You on: 01373 455255 or email: [email protected]
Cath Wilkins, Clinical Manager, said: “We Hear You continues to see an unprecedented rise in referrals to its free service and we are therefore delighted to be able to offer further sessions in Midsomer Norton to help us meet demand and allow us to support more people.”
Melissa Hillier, Director, commented: “Launching a new service and working with communities to support people who have been affected by cancer is extremely important to us. One in two people will be affected by cancer at some point in their lives and the work of our charity has never been so vital to so many.”
We Hear You works across Bath and North East Somerset, Somerset and Wiltshire and last year offered over 4,000 counselling sessions from eight locations, supporting more than 370 people.
The charity receives no government funding and relies on donations and support from the communities it works in.
