CRAIGSFARM ACTIVE LISTENING AND ONE-STOP INFORMATIO­N POINT

Sometimes we just need someone to listen. We have had a hard 2 years. Some have lost loved ones, and others have faced difficult times with their work, rising fuel bills and increasing cost of living. At Craigsfarm Active Listening we believe everyone in the midst of hard times

should have someone they can talk to – in confidence, without judgement and the freedom to determine their next step. We ask questions to understand.

We listen without interrupti­ng, comparing, or judging. If you need people to talk to who actually listen, we have you covered. Our active listening community services work to provide a free and a neutral,

accepting space for you. If you would like to book an appointmen­t either faceto-face, by phone or via zoom, please contact us at : info@craigsfarm.org.uk
