Break The Silence was founded in October 2004 and provides professional counselling support in East and North Ayrshire, helping those affected by childhood sexual trauma, their partners and family members.
In October 2024, trustees, staff and volunteers met to reflect on 20 years of service at a small celebration held at the Harbour Arts Centre in Irvine.
Sharon Belshaw, CEO-Clinical said, “Our staff, trustees and volunteers are all dedicated and committed to providing the best possible support to those affected by childhood sexual trauma and celebrating the significant 20 years of Break the Silence gives us the drive to ensure that we continue to deliver a service that is a Centre of Excellence for our amazing clients for another 20 years!”
2024 has been a special year for the charity, not just because it marks a 20 year anniversary, but the charity achieved British Association for Counselling and Psychotherapy Service Accreditation in January, and in February were awarded Ayrshire Chamber’s prestigious Business Excellence Award.
Lesley Craig, CEO-Operations said, “The commitment and passion of our Team is what makes the organisation what it is today. We are so lucky to work with a very special group of people and are humbled by the opportunity to support our clients towards healthier, improved lives.”
