PPPS Breakfast Supporting Willows

PPPS Breakfast Supporting Willows Counselling.

PPS Chartered Accountants have announced its next Business Charity Breakfast. Taking place on Wednesday, June 11th it’ll be raising funds for Willows Counselling. All alongside a talk from Emotional Empowerment Coach and keynote speaker Sally Stockreisser. 

Willows Counselling is a Swindon-based charity that has been supporting people’s mental health for over 30 years. The organisation provides counselling and training. Hence helping individuals facing challenges such as anxiety, trauma and difficult life situations. And demand for its services continues to grow in the local area.

Sally Holland, Partner at PPS Chartered Accountants, said choosing a local charity like Willows felt important. ‘They’ve been part of the Swindon community for a long time. And they do some valuable work supporting people through difficult periods in their lives. It felt like a good fit for the breakfast and the kind of causes we want to support.’

The June event

The June event will also feature a talk from Sally Stockreisser. Sally works with professionals to improve how they feel, think and perform under pressure. Her approach focuses on helping people better understand and manage their emotions in a practical, straightforward way. 

Her talk, entitled: Emotional Empowerment – The Secret to Professional Success, will explore how emotional awareness can have a direct effect on:

• Wellbeing
• Decision-making …
• … and performance at work. 

Sally Stockreisser said, ‘I’m so looking forward to speaking at the PPS breakfast. So many professionals get used to pushing through pressure without ever understanding how it’s affecting them. This talk is about helping people take a step back and look at how they feel. Because that has a direct impact on how they show up and perform at work.’

Sally Holland said she was looking forward to welcoming her as a speaker. “We’re always keen to bring in people who can offer something genuinely useful. Sally’s approach is very down-to-earth and practical, which works well for our audience.’

She added that the charity breakfasts continue to follow a simple format that people enjoy. ‘It’s about getting good people in a room, having proper conversations. And hearing something interesting without it feeling too formal. That’s what keeps people coming back.’

The PPS charity breakfasts

The PPS Business Charity Breakfasts have been running in different formats since 2017. They’ve supported more than 20 charities and community projects, raising over £8,000 to date. 

Sally said the impact often goes beyond the fundraising itself. ‘The money raised is always important. But what we often see is charities making new connections on the day and finding supporters. And sometimes even gaining further opportunities afterwards. That’s as valuable.’
