A Brentwood-based counselling service for young people aged 13 to 25 is preparing to set up surgeries in local secondary schools after receiving a £5,000 grant from the Jack Petchey Foundation.

The award comes almost ten years after the Young People's Counselling Service - which is based at Brescia House in Eastfield Road - first opened for business in May 1992.
