Why do we have to charge?
Bright Light is a charity, however it is dependent on contributions from clients. We receive a small grant from the Scottish Government but this does not meet our operational costs including the counsellors fees.
Bright Light is an independent charity and not part of the Social Work Department or the Health Service. We are a self-financing not-for-profit agency and we rely on client contributions to provide our service.
If you are a UK taxpayer you could help the service further by signing our Gift Aid declaration form here. This means that we could receive an additional 25p for every £1 you donate to us. You would only have to sign the form once and it will not cost you anything extra to do this.
