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.
Application is no longer available.
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.
