Day Services and Community Opportunities  

Developed and delivered by people with a lived experience of mental health. Our peer support sessions are whenever possible held in community venues, and outdoors in local open spaces during the spring/summer months or when the weather allows.

Activities range from wellbeing sessions, relaxation, quizzes, trips, support groups, training, courses and guest speakers

These sessions are for anyone struggling with their mental health and want to make friends and build up the confidence to access mainstream courses.

We currently offer a women only peer support group, a men only peer support group and a guitar group where people can learn to play (guitars provided).

These are currently on hold due to the pandemic. We are hoping to be re starting these over the coming months – please watch this space.

The Guided Self Help is one to one and will help you identify and manage the issues that are impacting on your mental health.  This works over a period of 6 – 8 weeks.  This service is available face to face, GP practices or our offices.  We can also provide the service telephonically or virtually via online platforms.   Click for more information and a self-referral form.

If you want advice on future employment or education we work in partnership with a range of employment and education providers.

We offer volunteering opportunities such as; peer support, retail experience in our shops, administration and governance.   We also work in partnership with GVS to access volunteering in the local area . 

We offer outreach for people who really need help or support in their own homes.  This will be established in your initial assessment.
