About this cause

We provide a programme of services and activities for:- Adults with short/ long term mental health needs; learning difficulties; physical disabilities.

We offer a friendly, supportive environment where people can make new friends and regain self-esteem and confidence. Our Integrated Programmes include:-Work based & Volunteering activities; Accredited and non-accredited learning through educational groups; Social activities promoting a work/life balance; Counselling. In 2016 we worked with 140 members for enabling; 541 counselling clients and 115 volunteers - representing an integrated cross section of our local community.

How this cause brings people in the community together

The community have been asking for a Men's shed for some time looking to share knowledge between generations & within the learning difficulties community - acting as a way of supporting one another to overcome social isolation and its inherent mental health problems around anxiety and depression. For the volunteers offering training and the learners gaining new skills the main outcome is social.
