The Cairnmillar Trust/Gift of Counselling Services

The gift of counselling services can provide a family or a child with the support and strength to continue to live a full and fulfilling life, despite the challenges which they have encountered.
A donation of $600 will provide 6 sessions of counselling for a family in need, or for a child requiring support as they grow and move to adolescence.
Select to donate the number of sessions:
1 session for $100
2 sessions for $200
3 sessions for $300
4 sessions for $400
5 sessions for $500
6 sessions for $600
