The registered charity with a long-standing commitment to supporting individuals, partners, and families has seen a significant rise in demand for its services.

“Strong relationships are the foundation of resilient lives and thriving communities,” said James Stuart Duffin from the charity. “Yet, too many individuals, partners and families in Glasgow are unable to access the support they need simply because they cannot afford it. The cost-of-living crisis and persistent poverty are placing immense strain on relationships, and without intervention, the consequences for mental health, family stability, and community wellbeing are profound.”

“Our skilled team is here to listen and support, but the reality is that our resources are stretched to the limit. We are committed to ensuring that no one is turned away due to financial hardship, but we cannot do this alone,” Duffin emphasised.

“Investing in relationship counselling is not just about helping individuals, it’s about breaking cycles of disadvantage and building stronger, healthier communities for the future.”

Duffin called on local authorities, charitable trusts, businesses, and the public to join in supporting this vital work.

He said: “Every pound invested in accessible counselling is a step towards a fairer, more compassionate Glasgow. We urge funders and decision-makers to recognise the urgent need and work with us to ensure that everyone, regardless of income, has the chance to build and sustain positive relationships.”
