The campaign has been curated by Akiko Design agency and will be launched during the festive period on WLM’s social channels and banner advertising will run across wlm.org.uk and a range of other websites and publications.

Roger Clark, CEO of WLM said about the campaign: ‘At WLM we believe in a world where everyone should be able to thrive. To realise this dream, we co-create safe spaces for people to achieve their potential through our community, counselling and criminal justice services. This Christmas and beyond we are starting a new chapter in our 135 years history for the people who use our services. My sincere thanks to Akiko Design for capturing the spirit of our future and supporting us once again with our campaign.’

WLM’s spaces, are spaces of community and connection. Spaces where people are able to develop and reconnect with their potential, making positive changes in their lives and feeling valued. In WLM’s environments, people can choose where they wish to be and progress in their lives with WLM’s services facilitating their journey.
