Safe Harbour

Empower your team, support your community

At Safe Harbour, we believe that by working together, we can create meaningful change – helping your business thrive while supporting our charity to continue its vital work in the community.

Safe Harbour is an exciting new project from Counselling for Social Change (C4SC), providing Business to Business support. Founded in 2012, our mission is to provide high-quality, emotional support that empowers individuals and strengthens workplaces. We recognise that emotional well-being is not just a personal issue but one that intersects with cultural and organisational experiences. Our vision is a world where emotional health is prioritised, and support is integrated seamlessly into professional and personal life.

By partnering with us, your business can foster a healthier, more resilient workforce while contributing to a broader social mission – ensuring accessible support for those in need in the wider community.

Creating Greater Impact Together

At Safe Harbour, we believe in working together. We know that by combining our efforts, we can achieve more than we ever could alone.

• Shared Goals: We team up with businesses that share our passion for social change. It’s a win-win for everyone.
• Enhanced Communication and Collaboration: Because we know our local business partners well, we can create solutions that are a perfect fit.
• Sustainability and Long-Term Impact: By working together, we build a stronger, more sustainable future for everyone.

Working with us means you’re not just supporting a good cause, you’re investing directly in your local community. You’ll be part of a movement that prioritises sustainability and shared values, showing your commitment to equality and real social impact by keeping your money working locally.
