Relate

"As the country’s largest provider of relationship support, every year we help over 150,000 people of all ages, backgrounds and sexual orientations. We have over 70 Centres across the country and a network of counsellors working at 600 locations as well as by phone and online... Great social movements come from humble beginnings. Relate began life as the Marriage Guidance Council in 1938 through the pioneering work of Dr Herbert Gray who was committed to safeguarding the family as the basis of community life. Counselling was delivered from a small London office, opened in 1943, and over 8,000 clients were seen by a group of dedicated volunteers in the next five years."
