Accessing the Project

The project is open Monday to Friday between 9am and 4pm, whilst some people come every day, most attend on a part-time basis. Flexibility, personal limitations and circumstances are primary in the arrangements being made for participation.

We are happy to receive referrals for new clients from Community Mental Health Teams, General Practitioners, Social Workers and Hospitals, or any other voluntary or statutory agency. As well as self referrals from individuals wishing to make a change to their lives.

The referral system is straightforward, just contact us and you will be invited to the project for an information session. This is merely an opportunity to meet up with a support worker and have a look around the project.

After the initial visit a taster session can be arranged to give you further insight into the project, giving you the chance to try out something new without any commitment. We recognise that this can be a daunting prospect for some people and invite you to bring someone to accompany you to the project.

We acknowledge that recovery can be hard work, so regular time is set aside for meetings with an identified staff member and, where appropriate, a statutory key worker, providing an opportunity to review and reflect on the placement.
