Spill's employee assistance programme (EAP) for health & medical charities
Your team spends the day close to illness and loss, then goes home and tries to switch off. Hospice staff sit with families through the hardest weeks of their lives. Research teams carry fundraising pressure on top of stretched services. Spill gives everyone unlimited same-day therapy with counsellors trained in grief and burnout, so the people who care for others get proper care themselves.
Same day counselling sessions
Rolling 30 day contract
Unlimited access from £75 per month

The unique pressures of health and medical charity work
Working alongside illness and loss takes a quiet toll, and fundraising pressure rarely lets up. Stretched services mean your team absorbs more than most. It shows across the sector: 30% of UK charities reported a rise in staff burnout or exhaustion over the past year (Pro Bono Economics / NTU, 2023).
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)
Support built for teams close to loss
Your team can't care for patients, families and supporters while running on empty. Proper mental health support keeps good people in post, protects the quality of your services and shows trustees you take staff welfare seriously.

All-in-one EAP for your team
Unlimited counselling sessions
A confidential space for staff to process the emotional weight of the mission, from vicarious trauma to plain exhaustion, with a fully qualified therapist. Same-day availability, with no waiting lists, call backs or forms.
Self-guided wellbeing resources
A library of practical, evidence-based resources written by licensed therapists who understand the unique pressures charity workers face. Covering over 200 topics from burnout prevention to vicarious trauma and financial wellbeing, our online resources can be accessed at any time. They're a great first step for anyone who's not quite ready to speak to a counsellor directly.
Expert guidance and training
Practical, therapist-led training workshops designed to empower staff to spot mental health presentations within nurseries, schools and universities and know how to appropriately respond. Teachers can also check in with a Spill safeguarding clinician for advice at any time.
