PETAL are always looking for more volunteers, and we currently require more volunteers to assist with the support for all the Children & Young People. If you feel this may be of interest to you please contact us through the Contact Us link at the top right of this page.

We provide Training for Staff & existing Volunteers and proposed New Volunteers.
 
The Training is based around the Psychotherapeutic Interventions (A programme Integrating Cognitive Behavioural Therapy and Client-Centred Counselling devised and formulated by: Findlay Collins RMN, A, MPhil-University of Paisley and Dave Deady RGN, RMN, DN, DTMN, BA(Hons) Dip.Couns. University of Paisley) and our own in-house course P. A. L. S. ( petal’s Accelerated Learning by Sharing). Findlay and Dave deliver the programme as a Workshop specific to the petal Membership and the training has been devised to deal with the issues specific to the work carried out by petal and places emphasis on the full Legal Process, especially in the case of Murder and also highlights any changes that take place within the Criminal Justice Process.

We know of no other course available that integrates Cognitive Behavioural and Person Centred Therapies at a practical level of delivery.

We currently receive Funding to Employ Staff, Fund Ongoing and Future Training and Development Programmes from a range of sources:

The BIG Lottery, North & South Lanarkshire Councils, Charitable Donations and Funds raised by our dedicated Fundraisers are all greatly appreciated and absolutely essential.

Funds raised by our Fundraisers are from a wide range of Fundraising Events.
 
The Funding we receive plus the Funds raised at Fundraising Events allow the group to provide the comprehensive range of Support Services
 
We are constantly pursuing alternative avenues of funding to ensure the future development and survival of the group.
