Mental Health

It’s all about people … A place where each person is valued and respected not for what they can give but for who they are. We believe that each person is of great worth and value. We aim to provide the right kind of support and care that allows people to flourish and develop beyond their expectations. It’s about having fun ….we all enjoy working together to make a difference. Who says you can’t work hard and enjoy yourself at the same time? We have seen that many people’s self esteem and confidence grow as they engage with and respond to our values and ethos.

By providing a supportive work environment and regular, structured work for our clients we help each one individually to progress on their journey to improve their physical and mental health and reduce the risk of relapse. Clients work alongside our project workers and receive training in a number of skills which include:

• Customer service skills are developed as the trainees deal with people donating furniture.
• Warehouse skills are developed with the trainees, as they assess stock levels and demand patterns to determine what furniture should be prioritised for collection.
• Organisational and logistical skills are developed in the loading and storage of the furniture within the warehouse.

Transferable skills are learnt by the clients as they are encouraged to take an active role in the planning and future development of the project. This process develops confidence and increases self-esteem whilst giving them a sense of pride being part of a team that delivers a quality and much needed service.
