💛 Progress doesn’t always look like progress.

Some days you might feel like you’re moving forward. Other days, simply getting through the day can feel like an achievement.

Progress can look like setting a boundary you’ve struggled with before. Taking a break when you need one. Asking someone for help. Saying no. Or recognising that you’re having a difficult week and giving yourself some space.

Growth isn’t always a straight line, and a difficult day doesn’t undo how far you’ve come.

If you feel like you could benefit from having someone to talk to, Abacus offers affordable counselling and a safe, confidential space to feel heard.

Could you help shape the future of mental health support in our community?

Abacus Counselling & Support is looking for a new Trustee to join our friendly and passionate team.

As a Trustee, you'll play an important role in helping us continue to provide affordable, accessible counselling for young people (13+) and adults across Southend-on-Sea and the surrounding areas.

You don't need to be a mental health professional. If you have an interest in mental health, enjoy working with others, and want to make a positive difference in your local community, we'd love to hear from you.

As part of the team, you'll:
💛 Help guide the future of a local charity making a real difference
🤝 Work alongside a supportive and committed group of volunteers
🌱 Develop new skills and gain valuable charity governance experience
🏡 Help ensure more people can access the support they need, when they need it

If this sounds like something you'd enjoy, or you know someone who would be a great fit, please find out more and apply here:

Please help us spread the word by sharing this post with your friends, family, and colleagues. Together, we can continue making mental health support accessible to everyone who needs it. 💛
