It is with deep regret that we advise you that North East Edinburgh Counselling Service has recently made an application to the Office of the Scottish Charity Commissioner to close the charity with effect from the 31st March 2025. This is due to the withdrawal of significant funding from our statutory partner, Edinburgh Health and Social Care Partnership. It has not been possible as a Board of Trustees to find a way forward. Our waiting list is now closed. We will continue to offer services to existing clients until the 31st March 2025, so please attend any appointments as planned. If you are on our waiting list we will be in touch to let you know if we can offer you support based on your availability to attend sessions.
The Board of Trustees wish to extend their thanks to all of those who have supported us over the years, including our staff, counsellors, and many partners and stakeholders in Edinburgh with whom we have worked. We are also grateful to the funders who have supported us to deliver a much needed and vital service to the people of North East Edinburgh.
