“Fundraising continued for the next two years in order to make it happen. We'd like to take this opportunity to thank all those who supported our fundraising in any way.”
Audrey explained that being able to offer a range of bespoke therapies under the one roof was a truly exciting development: “Our wellbeing centre gives us the opportunity to bring all of our therapies together, under one roof.
“We currently have four in-house counsellors working in the centre, and two therapists providing reflexology and aromatherapy treatments for our clients, as a follow-on from our counselling services.

“We have been very blessed to be able to pilot this programme for six months prior to the opening, so we are very aware of both the need and the benefits of the project.
“The feedback that we have received has been beyond belief.”
The Wellbeing Centre was officially opened on last Thursday (May 25).
