PF Counselling
(UK, SCO08875) Browse events
YTD Raised: £630.00Counselling at the PF is always offered on the basis of voluntary donations by the client, according to their own assessment of what they can offer. Our aim is to provide quality counselling which is available to all members of the community and which is affordable to everyone. We are also always striving to improve the service that we offer to our clients and volunteers. Most private counselling typically costs around £45 for each session. However, many of our clients are unable to pay our suggested minimum contribution of £15 per session. Our policy of never turning anyone away because of financial limitations means we are always left with a funding gap to bridge. We do not receive any continuous funding from outside sources and rely solely on our own fundraising efforts and client donations, as well as the generosity of individuals who decide to give to the PF either on a one-off or regular basis. We recently moved into excellent premises in south Edinburgh using ethical loan finance. The quicker we can repay the capital, the quicker we can become a permanently sustainable service to the community. We need your help!

Square Pegs Charity
(UK, 1166034) Browse events
YTD Raised: £627.82Square Pegs is derived from the idea that in society we are often forced to conform to society’s idea of normality, to fit into a neat ‘round hole’ pre drilled for us. However, by forcing ourselves, or being forced by others, to squeeze our ‘square peg’ selves in that round hole we are stripped of our unique individuality, our passion and creativity, often leading to a fencing in of the mind, body and soul, a losing of oneself. Many of us are Square Pegs, and when not being encouraged to; Be, think, creative, or take adequate rest, our energy and self-esteem often leads into a sense of disjointedness which this can manifest with both our families & peers. This increases poor mental and physical health, and isolation amongst many in the community. We are combating that by facilitating various crafting & well-being clubs, workshops & community events to encourage inclusiveness & a sense of fun into the lives of our beneficiaries.
