Beacon Counselling Trust

Beacon Counselling Trust Specialist mental health and education service for people aged 16+ across the Northwest.

Beacon Counselling Trust (BCT) is a Northwest wide mental health charity (1140011) which specialises in a range of early intervention, education, clinical and mental health programmes.

For over 10 years, BCT have offered free, confidential specialist support across the North West for individuals experiencing harm from their own gambling, or the gambling or someone else. This support is offered to anyone over the age of 16, and can be delivered face-to-face, online, or over the phone, with no waiting list.

BCT offer a range of advice and guidance, as well as therapeutic interventions through one-to-one or couples sessions, to support those experiencing gambling harms. These interventions are delivered by qualified and experienced therapists and psychological practitioners. BCT also support individuals through a range of long-term recovery programmes, both for the individual who gambled and the affected individuals. This support is delivered through lived-experience led peer support, group support, outdoor walking therapy, community-based interventions, and specialist support to address the practical issues that can occur due to gambling harms.

BCT also offer gambling harms training through the Bet You Can Help course, accredited by RSPH, giving a Level 2 award in Tackling Gambling Harms.

Remembrance Sunday is our national opportunity for communities to come together and pay tribute to those who have served and sacrificed themselves in conflicts past and present.

The Armed Forces Gambling Support Network honours our armed forces and veterans’ community for their service and the sacrifices made to all those that have defended our freedoms and protected our way of life. We remember our Armed Forces, and their families, from Britain and the Commonwealth, the vital role played by the emergency services and those who have lost their lives as a result of conflict or terrorism.

At the going down of the Sun and in the morning, we will remember them…
