Counselling charity launches a new hotline to support people in Harborough

A Christian counselling charity in Market Harborough has launched a new hotline to support people.

The popular Bower House service on Coventry Road was forced to shut when the Covid-19 lockdown was imposed in late March.

Staff are now opening a telephone support line from 9am-4pm on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and from 2pm-8pm on Thursdays.

Fully-trained staff will be on hand to counsel and support local people feeling stressed-out, anxious and isolated during the devastating coronavirus crisis.

“The new telephone line is available for anyone to call when support is needed.

“It’s a chance to chat, to feel supported, connected, heard and to feel less isolated,” said Bower House.

“Our trained team will be ready to take your calls.”

You will be able to call the charity’s new support line on 01858 469257 or 01858 463708.
