Listening Service
THE ONE-TO-ONE LISTENING SERVICE
is back on and starting soon.
We at Craigsfarm would like to extend a huge thank you and a warm welcome to our One-to-One volunteer, Janette Cameron.
One-to-One Listening is a space to share anything that is on your mind. It’s a space for you to talk in private to a trained listener who will not interrupt, advise, or judge you.
It’s a space where you will be encouraged to find your own way forward. So if you have something on your mind, need someone to talk to, know someone who might need a listening ear then services will be provided on Thursday mornings by appointment. Contact us on services@craigsfarm.org.uk.
This is not a counselling service but a befriending opportunity to provide you with a listening ear to help you think
through some challenges.
