There’s always something happening at Sefton Support Group, and the run-up to Christmas is no different. Local organisations are joining our Thursday drop-ins, we’ve welcomed new counsellors and a new therapist, and there are two festive dates for your diary. Here’s everything in one place.
A quick note: visiting organisations sometimes have to change plans at short notice, so please call us on 01704 879 352 before setting off.
Community Police Drop-in
Thursday 12 November, 1pm. All welcome.
Members of the local policing team are visiting our All Welcome Community Drop-in. It’s a chance to speak to local police in a friendly setting, ask questions, raise concerns and find out about support in the community.
Police plans can change at very short notice, so please give us a call before you set off. If the police can’t make it, the session will still go ahead: we’ll talk things through, note down your questions and pass them on to the police. The drop-ins run on the second Thursday of each month. Learn more and register.
Sefton@Work drop-in
Thursday 19 November, 12pm to 3pm.
Sefton@Work offers free, confidential and impartial advice on work, training and study for Sefton residents aged 16 and over. Pop in for help with CVs, applications and cover letters, interview skills or finding local vacancies. There’s no need to book.
The drop-in usually runs monthly, but dates can change, so please call ahead to check it’s going ahead. Find out more.
Venus Debt Advice drop-in for women
Thursday 26 November, from 12pm.
Money worries can feel heavier in the run-up to Christmas. Jo Hughes from Venus will be at the centre offering free, independent and confidential debt advice for women, including help with budgeting, benefits checks, freezing interest and charges, and dealing with creditors. Please call ahead to check before you set off. Find out more.
Tropic Skincare session
Thursday 3 December, 1pm.
Treat yourself before Christmas! Enjoy a pamper and the chance to pick up some Tropic Skincare as gifts, or a treat for yourself. Members and visitors are welcome, men included. Please register so we know how many people to expect. Register your place.
Christmas Gathering at Sefton Support Group
Monday 14 December, 10am to 1pm.
As another great year at SSG comes to a close, we’d love you to join us for a festive get-together. It’s our way of celebrating the year and saying thank you to everyone who’s made it so special. Members and non-members are all welcome. There’ll be a few treats and drinks, and maybe even a little Baileys to pop in your coffee!
New counsellors, and therapies all day Tuesday
We’ve welcomed new counsellors to the SSG team, so more members can get 1-to-1 support when they need it. Find out about counselling.
A new therapist has also joined us on Tuesday afternoons, so our therapies now run all day every Tuesday. Call 01704 879 352 to book.
Support our Essence Wellbeing Fund
Counselling and holistic therapies can make a real difference, but not everyone can afford them. Our Essence Wellbeing Fund helps members facing financial barriers to access 1-to-1 counselling and therapies such as reflexology and aromatherapy massage. 100% of donations go directly towards funding counselling and therapy sessions.
