Description

Sefton Support Group (SSG) provide a lifeline for people in Sefton going through life’s most difficult times.

Working with people affected by serious illness, chronic health conditions, bereavement and social isolation, their wide-ranging support includes counselling, peer-led support groups, wellbeing events, socials, and drop-ins. A 72% increase in weekly drop-ins and a 200% increase in email enquiries means that this fully volunteer-led service is struggling to keep up.

Our funding will allow SSG to onboard a full-time Centre Manager, their first paid role, to strengthen operations and launch an income-generating therapy programme and charity shop. The improved structure and finances will lay the groundwork for lasting growth, growing membership by 20% in a single year.
