Our trustees and our participants are involved in our decisions. Our information governance and health & safety commitments comply with industry standards. Our funding and spending is managed and overseen by our Board of Trustees.
​
We believe in community collaboration. We proudly work with other voluntary, community or social enterprise sector organisations in both informal and formal partnerships. This includes agreements to share participants, knowledge, training, skills, contracts and funding. We help:

individuals with great ideas to get them to fruition.

smaller charities with development and funding ideas.
-
larger charities, NHS and local authorities understand what's happening at grass roots level.

We are proud to be part of Mind
Even though 1 in 4 people have mental health problems, most of us don’t get the help we need.
We're fighting for mental health. For support. For respect. For you.
