Objectives

We are a national self-help mental health charity that provides valuable services for our members across all of the UK. Our principles are that self-help can be used effectively alongside formal treatment, so our work focuses on disseminating effective self-help strategies, bringing people together by various means and encouraging them to communicate about their experiences. 

Activities

We offer various services for our members; all of which (including membership itself) is absolutely free. 

 - Penfriend scheme: members write letters/emails to one another sharing their experiences and offering support. 

 - Online Zoom calls: members get together once a month and share their problems, like a support group. 

 - Newsletter: produced around 6 times a year.

 - Online Chat forum.
