Outreach

Barbara Hardy

Our Outreach tries to cover needs within our community, country and worldwide.

Listening Ear Counselling Service

Started and run by Barbara Hardy, this well established service is available to anyone who has problems they cannot solve themselves. It is aimed at people who have immediate as well as longer term problems across a wide range of needs – domestic abuse, drugs and alcohol, debt, teenage bullying. Used by all ethnic backgrounds and called upon from well outside the borough boundary is true tribute to the service’s confidentiality and professionalism.

Counselling Sessions – On Mondays and Thursdays (Bank Hols excepted)

Referrals taken from:

GP’s, Child Protection Service, Community Mental Health Team, Probation Service, Health Professionals, Churches, other Professionals, Helping Hands Service and previous clients recommendation

Reach Out Club

Meeting on the 1st and 3rd Tuesdays each month, between 12.30 and 2.30pm, the Reach Out Club provides light lunches and warm fellowship for those in the area who live alone.

New venture – Stepping Stones

As there is nowhere in Leicestershire for the rehabilitation of people addicted to drugs, alcohol and gambling, we have embarked on this new venture looking into ways we can help to provide premises and to support such a centre. We aim to provide a support system which allows individuals to recover in a safe, secure and Christian environment.
