S.M.I.L.E Counselling are here to help young people who are struggling with how they feel. We offer a range of free counselling services for 11-24 year olds in West Lothian. These services includes face-to-face counselling sessions, one-to-one phone calls, emails and online chat. Due to the pandemic the demand for our services has trebled and we would like to employ more counsellors to continue to empowered young people and help them be the best of themselves.
Why not "Buy a Balloon for Christmas"? A balloon only costs £3 and you can buy one for yourself or one for a friend. Your friend will be given a code which they can then register their own balloon. You can design your own colour, pattern, text. You can even decide how thick you want the balloon and how much helium to put in it! Everything about this race is real except the balloon which is virtual and eco-friendly. The balloon race will start from Lapland on Christmas Day and last for 7 days. You will be able track your balloon online. The direction of the balloon and how fast it goes depends on the real weather forecast.
