A fantastic start to our decorating weekend with Rotary Club of Colchester Forum volunteers, making a huge difference to our ground floor, which is home to our many arts & crafts therapies, textiles, friendship groups as well as one of our counselling rooms, providing psychodynamic and person centred counselling.

The Rotary Club of Colchester Forum have already completed the decoration of our middle floor, which has helped us massively increase our services including providing room for further group therapies and two more counselling rooms, including Dialectic Behavioural Therapy (DBT), which is making such a difference to our clients lives.

Exciting to see how it looks when it is all finished!

Thank you so much to all the Rotary Club of Colchester Forum volunteers for giving up their weekend to help and support us!
