By providing individualised support and activities the impact of our services is greater.
We respect the people we support and ensure they are safe comfortable and welcomed at our services.
Why the community needs usThe services are provided in the community and people can access with ease.
Referrals are not always necessary in the first instance.
Providing a welcoming and comforting environment the aim is to improve mental health and prevent admissions to metal health hospitals.
The community benefits from these and also the knowledge that access to our services can be when they need this most.
Our impact on the communityPeople using our services have been able to maintain and stabilise their mental health. This helps to keep their independence and prevents deterioration of their general health too.
Many service users have become volunteers to help and support others, by working with them and using their experiences to ensure people get most direct guidance.
We have 11 Family Support Scheme day centres that helps to look after people with dementia/alzeimers. This provide a safe and comfortable setting for these users to have a change from their normal settings. Vitally this gives a break for their carers, when they can do whatever they need and knowing that we will look after the person.
We need volunteers to help at the centres with basic duties ie activities, sing a longs, making tea/coffee, helping during lunches.
