Charities for 2019
|
The All Saints' Charities Committee has decided to support the following three local charities in 2019. These were nominated by members of our congregation. Beacon Counselling exists to improve the lives of adults, young people and children suffering from mental and emotional stress. It provides confidential counselling by appointment throughout the week in central Stockport. The centre provides services to any woman in need of support – including those who have experienced or are experiencing domestic violence.
