About
We support adults aged 18 and over with acute or chronic mental health conditions, as well as individuals affected by dementia, social isolation, neurodiversity, brain injury and stroke.
Our person-centred approach focuses on setting achievable goals and working collaboratively with local agencies to ensure the best possible outcomes. We help clients develop life skills, engage socially, and build confidence and independence, while also providing carers with essential respite.
Support is available both at home and within the community. We charge an hourly rate for our services; however, as a charity, this cost is subsidised through our ongoing fundraising efforts. In addition, we fundraise specifically for an activities budget, enabling our clients to access community activities and opportunities without additional costs being a barrier.
