Fundraising for Petrus

The "Let's talk" project is one year old and has been successfully providing Petrus service users with fast track therapeutic counselling.

Petrus currently has two trainee Counsellors in post and they are seeing service users from across the organisation on a weekly basis. Our first trained Counsellor Clare has now gone onto a GP Counselling post after successfully seeing clients at Petrus.

Clare really enjoyed her time at Petrus stating:

"The experience has helped me to understand the issues faced by some people, and it is great to become aware of the fantastic work that goes on in Rochdale and the many unsung heroes and heroines. I am proud that I have worked alongside some of these and it makes me glad to know that our community cares about others and are prepared to help those in need. I have seen changes in the service users as they have received support and time invested in them and feel optimistic that as a result their lives will be more enriched"

Clare recently ran the London Marathon and we were delighted that she chose to raise funds for Petrus. Clare raised an impressive £760.00 which will help towards the continuation of the Petrus Hub services.

We would like to thank Clare for this wonderful gesture and to recognise the positive impact she had on the service users at the Petrus Hub.
