🌟 Supporting Our Community Together 🌟

Anxiety Support Wales is proudly funded by The National Lottery, whose support allows us to offer free counselling services to hundreds of people in and around Swansea every year.

Our Anxiety Hwb, also funded by The National Lottery, plays a vital role in the community by providing a drop-in service where people can access instant help and support during times of crisis.

The Hwb now receives referrals from GPs, the Crisis Team, NHS 111, and many other trusted sources. While Lottery funding helps us operate, we rely on public donations to keep the drop-in service running smoothly.

Every contribution—big or small—helps us continue supporting those who need us most. 🙏

If you’re able to help in any way, please get in touch. Your generosity makes a real difference to the lives of people in Swansea and beyond. 💙

When renovation is needed.

The Anxiety Hwb charity shop is known for being full of clothing, toys, CDs and more. When we recently underwent some shop renovations, we were unaware of how the unsettled cement dust would impact our items in the shop. Everything had to be taken out to be dusted off and cleaned. During this process, we found some treasures that we didn’t realise we had, and also got rid of some items that were not selling or were broken. This gave us a chance to give the whole shop floor a deep clean and to reorganise, and many of our customers have commented on how better it looks and feels!

We can compare this story to our need for mental health support. Sometimes our mind and body may fall into disrepair and renovation through counselling is needed. We can have support with a counsellor to clean out our minds of what is causing us trouble or what is not helping. In this process, we may identify unhelpful thought patterns, trauma, or even personal qualities which we didn’t realise were hidden strengths. With the help of a counsellor, we can do the work to help us function more efficiently. By the end we may notice how much better we feel in ourselves and how our ability to cope with difficulties has improved. Some may even notice the change within us.

Sometimes change can be difficult. While dusting and sorting our shop, we would stop to take breaks, be there to support each other or even to comment on how difficult the process felt. But the good news is that you are never alone in your journey.

If you are seeking mental health support for yourself or someone else, the Anxiety Hwb is here for you, we are here to listen.
