Our Challenge
We are hoping to raise £2,500 – every pound we raise brings us closer to achieving better mental health and wellbeing for everyone in mid and north Powys.
£30 could enable us to deliver one session of counselling.
£250 could enable us to deliver a 3 wk on-line Stress and Anxiety Management course.
£375 could provide up to 10 sessions of specialist one-to-one mental health support.
