We are a CIC
We are registered as a CIC at Companies House, with a Registration number of 15243358.
Community Interest Companies have the benefit of their communities as part of their mission. We use all surplus funds to provide free counselling to the disadvantaged in our communities.
We are a Social Enterprise
We are registered members of Social Enterprise UK. Social Enterprises put a lot into their communities. As a 'not-for-profit' organisation, we provide a number of free counselling or coaching courses or retreats for the unemployed, those on benefits and the elderly.
Professional Body
Our Counsellors are all accredited by a Professional Body, which ensures all our qualifications are valid and insists on us providing them with copies of our Insurance Cover.
Our Founder
David Callander, MCMA
