Donating Annie Sloan Chalk Paint To Transform Basingstoke & District Counselling Service
February 18th, 2025
The Brewers Foundation were thrilled
to donate Annie Sloan Chalk Paint and extra sundries to transform new rooms for
the Basingstoke & District Counselling Service.
The team were left with several pieces
of mismatched furniture, so they were keen to give them an upcycle to leave
spaces feeling more cohesive and calmer.
The mental health charity provides
affordable counselling, training and Continuing Professional Development in
Basingstoke and the surrounding areas.
The charity recently acquired three
new rooms to expand their service, allowing them to provide reduced rate
counselling to another 44 vulnerable clients per week.
The other two rooms will be used as
training rooms, allowing them to train students, who also work as volunteer
counsellors for the service for the duration of their course.
This will have a big impact on the
local community, as they provide open ended counselling for the price of £15
per session which is heavily discounted, compared to an industry average of
£40-£80 per session.
This allows the service to provide
mental health support to those that otherwise wouldn't be able to afford it.
