Durham County Carers Support - Support Carers Through Their Free Counselling Service
The following is from Durham County Carers Support.
🧠 50 Volunteer Counsellors – 500 Carers Supported Each Year
We currently have an amazing team of 50 volunteer counsellors supporting approximately 500 Carers every year.
While our counsellors generously give their time for free, the cost of running the service is rising. We now face annual costs of nearly £20,000, which covers:
- Room hire
- Travel expenses
- Professional supervision
This is funded entirely through donations and fundraising — we receive no dedicated external funding for this service.
As our reach grows, so too does the demand for this essential support.
