Contact us - find out how we will help local needs in your area.As people’s mental health needs and aspirations change over time, the support we offer is based on a flexible and personalised approach to recovery, working closely with both the individual and their key worker. We constantly strive for improvement to our services and they all operate within our own Quality Assurance Programme.

 

The service could not be improved in my opinion and was excellent in every way. It gives time out from everyday problems and makes you face life's everyday problems with much more clarity and determination to succeed wherever and whenever possible.

Types of services

We offer four types of community support services:

  • community services, offering a broad spectrum of support through one-to-one and small group work which provide informal social contact, practical help and community based opportunities
  • befriending services, offering individuals a volunteer befriender with whom they can build a one-to-one relationship
  • one-to-one community support, to enable individuals to live independently and access opportunities for social involvement locally
  • user involvement services, supporting users of mental health services to influence the planning, delivering and monitoring of service
