We are GASPED, a small charity based in the heart of Wakefield comprising a diverse team of skilled staff and volunteers striving to provide practical and emotional support to our most deprived areas.
As a charity we recognise the link between practical issues such as housing, finance and the impact on mental health.
Our team of
IDVA’S/ISVA’S, Support Workers and Counsellors
work together to create tailored care plans delivering trauma informed support, to some of the most vulnerable people in our community.

Our team
relies on volunteers to deliver a lot of our initiatives and we believe that by recruiting local people we can deliver support that our community truly needs to make a difference. We deliver evidence-based initiatives that contribute to long term change within our communities. Through regular consultation and service user panels we create an understanding of the changing environment within West Yorkshire.
All of our counsellors donate their time to help our clients. We take on counsellors of all backgrounds and qualification levels. We take on trainee counsellors from all different Colleges and Universities in the North of England. If you would like to join our dedicated and caring team please visit our
