Support Offered
Working closely with Partners in the statutory and third sector, we provide peer mentor support to our beneficiaries through social prescribing activities including breakfast clubs, coffee morning’s, drop-in’s, gardening and crafting to improve mental health and wellbeing and reduce social isolation. We also provide intensive one to one support by helping beneficiaries to navigate & hold steady in the highs & lows of their recovery journey.
Through assessment of needs, we make onward referrals to specialist services who provide treatment and other targeted support such as housing, benefits, debt advice etc.
We never just sign post to other organisations so that we actively reduce the need for our beneficiaries to keep re-telling their story.
