about us

Listening Ear Merseyside is a community-based charity which provides a free, confidential, non-judgemental reflective listening, counselling and bereavement support service for people within the Merseyside area.

Wide ranges of presenting problems are dealt with including anxiety, depression, trauma and grief. This service is open to all over the age of 16.

Listening Ear also has a specialist programme, called Butterflies, which targets children and young people aged 7 to 16 years experiencing bereavement or other family loss. The younger service users engage in activity-based support to aid communication.

The
Friendship After Bereavement (FAB) group allows for mutual and group support at regular meetings and events.

Within this framework Listening Ear consistently engages in innovative ways of ensuring that they are inclusive to all and remain up to date and as effective as possible, for example:

  • Listening to the housebound
  • Utilising music within appropriate therapies.

For further details of these and all our activities, please see our projects page.

In April 2007 Listening Ear Merseyside became a Company Limited by Guarantee (No. 5999650), which is in addition to its charitable status with the Charity Commission.

We view this as another stage in our continued development. Our identity as a voluntary group, based within a community setting, and our charitable work remain the same.
