A vital counselling service has made a desperate plea to secure funding by Christmas as the threat of closure looms.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simeon Centre service has operated in Bolton for 25 years, offering free counselling and support to more than 600 people a year. They offer at least 10 free sessions to everyone and for people with complex needs,<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lisa Howarth, service co-ordinator for the Simeon centre, said: “It is an emotionally exhausting and challenging time for us. I\u2019m surrounded by thank you cards and messages of support.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Christmas<\/strong> closure threat<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

With around 40 student and volunteer counsellors, the centre has long been a crucial placement provider in a region already facing shortages. Its closure would mean fewer newly-qualified counsellors entering the local workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unless the centre can raise \u00a325,000<\/strong> to \u00a330,000<\/strong> by 31 December, they will have no choice but to close. Clients would have to go to the bottom of the current NHS waiting list – which exceeds 1,000 people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bolton already has some of the highest levels of need in the region. The closure would see hundreds of people a year lose access to support that does not exist elsewhere for free. The impact will be felt across families, GP surgeries, workplaces, and the wider community, say campaigners.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Simeon centre is at the heart of the community with 30% of their current volunteers on placement due to strong connections with local colleges and universities.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The fundraiser<\/a> has been set up by Robert Hurst, a lecturer at Bolton University. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
