Read More About Us

2016 has been the busiest year to date for Charlie's-Angel-Centre. Not only with the preparation for our first charity ball, we have completed four other fundraising events and our final one will be in December 2016.

We couldn't do any of our fundraising events without the public’s support and so far this year we have raised an amazing £5600

We have continued to highlight the lack of bereavement support not only in the West Yorkshire area but all over the country. Plus we have welcomed 3 new trustee’s, They are amazing people who bring so much to the charity.

Thank you to all those who have contributed and worked tirelessly over many months to make this the best year yet.

National Diversity Awards 2016

In July we heard that we had been shortlisted for a 'Community Organisation Award for multi strand’ We were shortlisted from 20,000 other nominees.                                  

On September 16th I went along to the awards night at the Liverpool Anglican Cathedral arriving at the venue was quite nerve wracking but once inside the building and amongst some truly inspirational people the nerves soon subsided.

We was sat at a table with some amazing people and it was great to be able to network with so many other charities and businesses.

The evening was really enjoyable and seeing all the nominees for each category and then the winners was inspirational. It was great to see how many people there are out there providing support and friendship to such varied and diverse groups.

We were treated like celebrities by the waiting staff and felt totally spoilt.

The whole experience was fantastic and although we didn’t win our category it felt like everyone who was there was a winner.       

 

                                                           Bereavement Counselling 

My name is Paula Dalton and I am the counselling coordinator for Charlie’s Angel Centre.

Within my role I help manage the referral process, helping bereaved families find the right counsellor to support them. Bereavement is a hard process for everyone, but especially difficult for those dealing with the loss of a child. Charlie’s Angel Centre ensures you get the help you need, when you need it.

 

Counselling is a dedicated time where you can discuss how you are feeling. Often times our friends or family will have tried to help us with our grief, however, counselling is different in that you don’t need to protect the needs of the counsellor. You can talk about the hurt and the anger, the loss of a future for your child and all the frustrations you are experiencing. The counsellor will not judge you or give you advice. You are free to talk about whatever you choose with your counsellor and it will all be kept confidential. Talking is a useful way to help understand our feelings. Occasionally we haven’t ordered our thoughts, then given the right space, we can open up to someone and share our emotions in a way that feels safe for us. When going through a difficult time we tend to shield our loved ones, we don’t want to talk to them in case we upset them. This is where counselling is different to any other relationship.

 

Here at Charlie’s Angel Centre, we offer up to six appointments with a counsellor to support you through this difficult time.

 

If you feel counselling isn’t for you, maybe you would benefit from some peer support at our  fortnightly support group. Here are the dates for your calendar for 2016.
