Proud to have helped over 60 people in recovery from mental illness get their lives back by providing the vehicle of the print and graphic design business to train them in skills for work with the support of peer mentors and our Community Mental Health Worker, Tim . All achieved without NHS Government funding.I also set up Brentwood's Community Tree Partnership to create awareness of mental health support in the area and to get organisations talking to each other. From this we have this year set up an adult colouring cafe using books designed and printed by our team who are all very skilled workers who happen to have mental Ill health and some also have autism. In November 2016 proud to announce that our work has been recognised by ACAS and featured in their report on managing mental health in the workplace. Show less
