Choosing a Charity of the Year gives your business a shared goal for the next twelve months. Your team has something to rally around, your clients see what you value, and a local cause gets steady support it can plan around.
Westmeria Counselling is a strong choice for a Bromley-area business.
Who we are
Westmeria Counselling has provided low-cost counselling to people in Bromley and the surrounding areas since 2003. We offer a safe, confidential space to anyone finding life really difficult, whether that’s anxiety, depression, low mood, stress, loss and bereavement, or a feeling they can’t quite put a name to.
We set no fee for our sessions. Clients donate what they can afford, which can be as little as a few pounds a week. Because we receive no government funding, donations and fundraising keep the service running. Our counsellors also give their time generously, and that commitment sits at the heart of what we do.
Why the work matters
Private counselling can cost more than many people can manage, and NHS waiting lists can be long. Westmeria exists for people who need support and could not otherwise access it.
Each session lasts 50 minutes, and clients can have up to 24 sessions after their initial appointment. That gives people time to explore what they’re facing, with the same counsellor beside them throughout.
Every pound raised goes towards keeping those counselling rooms open.
How your business can help
A Charity of the Year partnership can look however suits your team. Popular options include:
- Team fundraising: Bake sales, quiz nights, sponsored walks and runs, or dress-down days.
- Payroll giving: Colleagues give a small amount each month straight from their pay.
- Donation matching: Your business matches what staff raise.
- Event sponsorship: Put your brand alongside a trusted local service, including our annual Westmeria Mental Health Summit.
- Spreading the word: Share our story with your clients, suppliers and social followers.
Even a small commitment goes a long way. Regular, reliable support lets us plan ahead and take on more clients.
What your business gains
Fundraising together builds team spirit and gives colleagues a reason to connect across departments. Supporting mental health in your own community also shows clients and staff that wellbeing matters to you.
Many businesses find that a Charity of the Year partnership becomes one of the most talked-about parts of their working year.
We’ll work with you to shape a plan that fits your size, your budget and your calendar. We can provide photos, updates and stories from our work so your team can see the difference they’re making.
