The charity We Hear You (WHY) work across Bath and North East Somerset, Somerset and Wiltshire providing emotional support to patients, families, friends and carers who have been touched by cancer or any other life-threatening conditions.
At We Hear you we understand that cancer and life-threatening conditions can be overwhelming. It can leave you feeling numb, isolated and terrified and can seem too big to cope with. We provide a safe space where people can say the unsayable and ask the unanswerable. When you ask WHY… we hear you.
We Hear You’s services are for individuals who have, or have recovered from any life-threatening condition; their close family, friends and loved ones, WHY also supports those who have been bereaved. During the current pandemic WHY has extended its services to anyone who has been impacted by Covid-19 as well.
Their free counselling services have continued via telephone or online during the pandemic but their face to face sessions with children and young people are now resuming under new safety guidelines. They are also busy making plans to reintroduce face to face services for their adult clients that want it and will be continuing to review guidance and adapting these procedures accordingly. Please call 01373 455255 or email info@wehearyou.org.uk to make an appointment. As a small charity We Hear You is reliant upon its grants and community fundraising activities. Chippenham Borough Lands Charity have recently given WHY a grant of £6700 to set up a new counselling service and increase provisions for Chippenham people. WHY continue to face huge challenges to raise the money to provide their ongoing services. Could you help them by making a one-off donation? Or could you become a regular giver and provide WHY with some much-needed security? Perhaps you would like to help fundraise for the charity or become one of their team of volunteers? More help on their services and how you can help is on their website.
