Spill's employee assistance programme (EAP) for charities and non-profits

Charity teams absorb rising demand with shrinking budgets, and too often the people fighting for others pay with their own wellbeing. Only 36% of charity workers now say their workload is achievable. Spill gives charities and non-profits proper mental health support at a price a trustee board can get behind.

Same day counselling sessions

Rolling 30 day contract

Proudly supporting charities and non-profits across the UK

Mission-driven work shouldn't cost your team their wellbeing

Charity work strains mental health in a particular way. Mission-driven commitment and emotional labour, often including direct exposure to beneficiaries' trauma, combine with below-market pay and chronic under-resourcing. Staff absorb rising demand through unpaid hours while struggling financially themselves.

Rising burnout

30% of UK charities reported a rise in staff burnout or exhaustion over the past year. (Pro Bono Economics / NTU, 2023)

Unmanageable workloads

Only 36% of charity workers feel their workload is achievable, down from 53% in 2019. (Charity Well, 2025)

Planning to leave

60% of charity workers plan to change job within the next year. (CharityJob Pay & Retention Report, 2024)

When your staff thrive, so does your mission

With 60% of charity workers planning to change jobs within a year, burnout is now a delivery risk, not just an HR issue. Spill helps you keep the people who power the mission.

Build emotional resilience

Give staff tools to manage workload stress and the emotional demands of the role.

More energy for the work that matters

When personal struggles are supported, people show up fully for pupils, students and causes.
