COUNSELLING IN THE COMMUNITY
Counselling in the Community is a self referral mental health service offering adult, children and young persons' counselling to Blackpool, Wyre and Fylde. These are areas where it can be difficult to access mainstream services and private counselling can be costly.
Financial health, per its FY2025 accounts
The accounts state that the charity reported a net expenditure of £3,179 for the year, resulting in unrestricted reserves falling to £68. This figure is explicitly noted as being below the trustees' stated policy target of three months' running costs, a deviation attributed to the deliberate direction of resources toward front-line service delivery. Despite the low reserve level, the trustees maintain that the charity remains financially sustainable.
