Why the community needs us
We provide accessible, affordable counselling for adults, including those in recovery from trauma, abuse & domestic violence. Our Outreach Projects are supported by the Community Foundation for Wiltshire and Swindon & Zurich Community Foundation. We are committed to collaborative action within the voluntary sector and provide training. We are actively involved in Voluntary Action Swindon & provide opportunities for volunteers, such as people returning to work, & student placements.

Our impact on the community
We actively seek feedback from clients, as well as from referring individuals & agencies, & this confirms that Willows plays a valuable part in supporting recovery from a range of psychological & mental health challenges. The rapid rise in the number of new cases, year on year, also suggests that we are recognised as a valuable resource in the community, alongside other sources of support. Our goal is to make excellent, professional, affordable services available to those most in need of such.
