Good health is more than prescriptions. This spring, Ondrelle Apothecary is raising money with our neighbours to fund free counselling sessions, peer support groups and a crisis helpline top-up for our borough.
Why we started the fund
Every week, someone stands at our counter and asks — quietly — where they can talk to someone. Waiting lists are long and private care is out of reach for many. A community fund cannot fix that alone, but it can open doors faster for the people who need them now.
Where the money goes
Every dollar raised is split three ways: subsidised one-to-one counselling with licensed local therapists, weekly peer support circles hosted in our consultation room, and extended hours for the neighbourhood helpline. Our costs are covered separately, so donations pass through in full.
How you can help
Round up your purchase at the till, join our sponsored riverside walk in April, or simply share the fundraiser with someone who might need it. Local businesses can sponsor a counselling block and be listed on our wall of supporters.
