“By offering timely therapeutic support, we aim to help prevent the onset of complex mental health difficulties for many individuals and families. When the pandemic hit, we had to act fast.
“Halifax Foundation were by our side, supporting us to offer additional counselling sessions via video and telephone, without which many people suffering in isolation would have struggled to cope.
“We’re so thankful that we’ve been able to help over 5,500 people this year.”
The Halifax Foundation for Northern Ireland has contributed £39m to more than 11,000 projects, improving the lives of disadvantaged and disabled people since its start in 1985.
