Manleigh CIC
Who we are
Description
A charitable organisation established to deal with issues of men's mental health by providing peer to peer support in a small group or individual basis. Apart from direct engagement with men with concerns the organisation offers small group activities such as walks, visits and talks. Thus far the group has engaged with 62 persons with mental health issues with 3 to 4 new clients arriving each week as knowledge of the group increases. Demand will increase as we establish a new website and form partnerships with local churches, with Jobcentre where we engage with clients who will not attend the Jobcentre and with a local homelessness charity. Other work undertaken by the group includes bereavement counselling. Our plans for the future include developing a base with a self managed cafe and recruiting additional counselling volunteers and potentially sessional staff with accompanying training.
