International Coffee Day - Tuesday 1st October 2019

Coffee has never been more popular, with an estimated 3 billion cups consumed every day. To celebrate International Coffee Day, we are asking you to host a coffee party – it doesn’t have to be the biggest but it would help us continue to support the many families and friends who are affected caring for someone living with a severe and complex mental illness.

Our vision

Partners in care - Supporters in recovery - Advocates for Change
Support groups

A safe and confidential space to talk, to learn about mental illness and services but also to connect with others who are dealing with similar issues and problems.
Support our carers

Giving regularly helps us to continue our support to many families, friends and partners caring for a loved one with a serious mental illness as it allows us to plan for our future projects and services. You can make a one off donation too or give regularly now or you can also send your donation simply.
