Did you know that we hand-make all our candles, right here in the gift shop?
And this week, we’re already thinking about Christmas, as work starts on our lovely Christmassy fragranced candles and melts!
This year, we’re encouraging local businesses to think of us when it comes to bulk orders for staff Christmas gifts, thank-you gifts or awards.
Not only do we hope to spread the feel-good factor far and wide with our wellbeing gifts, but all the profits from our hand-made, ethically sourced products go towards funding our counselling and mental health support groups.
They really are the gifts that keep giving!
If your business would like to find out more about our bulk orders for this Christmas or other occasions, pop in and see us or get in touch at [email protected]

Did you know that every coffee, cake and purchase at our Community Café and Gift Shop helps us provide vital mental health support?

It costs around £26 to provide every counselling session at Don’t Lose Hope.

Last year alone, we delivered 7,432 counselling sessions across Bourne and the surrounding areas, with up to 200 sessions every week! Around 50% of those are subsidised or free – and half were to children and young people.

We believe cost should never be a barrier to accessing mental health support, so we offer counselling on a sliding scale based on household income:

🧡 Under £12,000 – First 8 sessions free
🧡 £12,000–£20,000 – £10 per session
🧡 £20,000–£30,000 – £25 per session
🧡 Over £30,000 – £35 per session

Those who are able to pay a little more help make counselling more accessible for others. Alongside these contributions, we also rely on fundraising by our amazing supporters, our Community Café – open to everyone and well worth a visit for the delicious homemade cakes! 🍰 – and our Gift Shop to help fund our counselling services.

Every coffee, every cake, every purchase, every donation and every fundraiser helps us continue providing vital mental health support to our community.

If you need help, contact us at [email protected].

If you’d like to support us, get in touch or find us on JustGiving - or pop in for some cake! 🧡

Huge thanks to Toft Golf Club for their huge fundraising efforts so far this year! Club Captain Martin Blackwell gave us the honour of choosing Don't Lose Hope as their charity of the year, handing over £2000 so far to help us provide vital mental health support in Bourne and the surrounding areas! And they're not finished yet. Here's a few pics Martin sent us from his fundraising Captain's Day. Thank you to everyone involved - the charity wouldn't exist without our fundraising family and amazing volunteers! 🧡
