We listen to those we support and provide them with the groups and activities they want and need.
These are individual people, with their own paths. We are only here to support them on these paths.
We believe in the untapped wealth of knowledge and experience in the peer community- the power to support each other and realise none of us have to be alone.
We became aware as the pandemic began that services retreated to Zoom, and many were left feeling isolated, abandoned and "kept at arm's length" by services.
We have worked throughout lockdown and beyond to keep these individuals connected. We have worked within government and Covid guidelines to provide in-person support wherever and however we can, and develop a range of activities and groups to provide a sense of reliability, safety, connection and growth despite the lockdown.
There is so much more that can be done.
We want to do more, support more, and make more of a difference. This will always require more funding!
