Objectives

We are a friendly and welcoming organisation that is dedicated to helping and supporting people in our community who have physical and mental health problems. Our aim is to enable them to improve their quality of life while making a real contribution to the way the service is delivered. We aim to help reduce isolation and exclusion by offering a safe and supportive environment for members to explore their own potential at a pace that is suited to then,

Activities

Members can participate in leisure or creative activities, setting targets in line with their own needs. They can learn to build on their strengths and develop self-esteem and confidence. Pursuits are designed to promote greater independence which can be a long term advantage for both our members and the community. We run a day centre on Tuesdays and Fridays, offering a freshly cooked meal at midday, as well as hot and cold drinks. Transport can be arranged for those who need it. We make a small charge for these services, as costs have to be covered by a grant from Wiltshire Social Services and charitable donations.
