The Guernsey Counselling Service has launched an Easter-themed competition offering islanders the chance to win chocolate eggs whilst helping to raise awareness of mental health support services.

To enter the competition, participants must follow the organisation's Facebook page and like and share the competition post. Names will be drawn on 1st April, with winners receiving eggs from what the charity describes as a "delicious selection".

The competition serves a dual purpose beyond the prize draw. According to the organisation, every person who takes part helps reach more people in the community who may need support, encouragement, or simply a reminder that they are not alone.

The Guernsey Counselling Service is a local registered charity that provides accessible, confidential counselling to adults in Guernsey. The organisation's mission is to make counselling accessible and affordable to everyone, regardless of personal circumstances.

Unlike many counselling services, GCS operates without long waiting lists, and fees are structured based on what each individual can afford to pay. The charity believes that emotional and mental wellbeing should be available to everyone.

The competition comes as spring arrives and Easter approaches, with the organisation celebrating the "brighter days to come" through the seasonal initiative.

Those interested in learning more about the Guernsey Counselling Service's work or how to access support can visit their website at empathy.org.gg. The organisation also welcomes those who wish to support their charitable work.
