Pregnancy Options Centre - Portsmouth Satellite
LP-J helped to fund the running of a free pregnancy loss and unplanned pregnancy counselling service in Portsmouth from 2023-2024.
In May 2023, Pregnancy Options Centre, based in Chichester, opened a satellite centre in Portsmouth.
​
Using rooms at St. Cuthbert's Church, free unbiased help and support was offered for unplanned pregnancy, post abortion and pregnancy loss.
​
The service was led by Siobhan Butt, an experienced therpaist and professional counsellor.
​
Options' Christian foundation and ethos, which inspires them to treat everyone with dignity, grace and compassion, is paramount to how they operate.
Options resolutely maintains a non-judgemental attitude and is therefore committed to empathic, non-directive, confidential support that respects the autonomy of clients. Although they are an organisation with a Christian ethos, they support clients from all faiths or none.

The opposite impact report shows what was achieved in 2023-2024.

The Portsmouth centre closed at the end of 2024.
