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.

WAY is the only national charity in the UK for people aged 50 or under when their partner died. It’s a peer-to-peer support group run by a network of volunteers who have been bereaved at a young age themselves, so they understand exactly what other members are going through.

WAY aims to provide peer-to-peer emotional and practical support to young widowed men and women – married or not, with or without children, whatever their sexual orientation – as they adjust to life after the death of their partner.

The aims of the Witham Hub are to promote social inclusion for the public benefit of individuals living within the town of Witham and its surrounding area by preventing people from becoming socially excluded, relieving the needs of those people who are socially excluded and assisting them to integrate into society.
To develop the capacity and skills of individuals living within that community who are socially and economically disadvantaged in such a way that they are better able to identify, and help meet, their needs and to participate more fully in society.

To ensure that no one goes hungry by offering food support whenever needed, via our self-referral scheme, by referral from trusted partners or by our community fridge. We offer a no questions asked food parcel to bridge a gap when funds are tight but also offer someone to chat with if needed supporting mental health. Offering a friendly space for a cuppa and a chat. Our ethos is we put the unity back in community.
