'Community Intro' Mental Health support group

Donation protected

We are 'Community Intro ', a completly Volunteer run and led - Peer to peer
'Mental Health support group', assisting & supporting the people of Lincolnshire.

We are based in the pretty rural market town of Sleaford.

We aim to provide Friendship, in a non judgmental relaxed environment, peer to peer support, fun relaxed days out when we can, different weekly activities - information and leads to other contacts and services that may be of use and benefit to yourself or your family members.


We are a self funding support group at present. Members pay subs of £2.00 each week to attend, or as much as they can afford *as we all are well aware that some weeks are a lot tougher than others, and we do not discriminate because of this*


This provides each member with a weekly activity session, whether that be in the group setting, or if we are fortunate enough - on an excursion setting. 
The support that we provide - is invaluable to so many.


All our members have varying needs and abilities, some include:-

Stress and Anxiety, Loneliness, Self esteem, Autism, Bi polar, Depression ,social isolation , Schizophrenia, Self harm , Drugs and alcohol ,Panic attacks, Phobias, Post and perinatal depression, Eating disorders , Gender issues, Hearing voices , OCD , BDP, are a number of the reasons people like to attend the group.


We are always welcoming new members, and due to our ever increasing numbers, we now have 4  volunteers, that give their time each week!

Which just shows, there is a huge need for Mental health support in Lincolnshire, and this is why we need our local communities and local businesses to get right behind us and help to keep us up and running.

Activities include - Movie week, Go karting , Mud hare making, cooking, excursions to Peterborough and Mablethorpe. Picnics, Jewellery making, bath bomb making, talks from many professionals on various topics on keeping safe, money management, Forensic science, Chocolate making, painting......The list is endless.




Members get to participate in a new skill every week, this builds confidence and promotes self worth - which in turn increases self esteem and well being , which is utterly immeasurable.

To see individuals blossom, become so much more confident, gain new skills and develop- is just priceless.



We are based at 'The Sorce' Riversdale Church in Sleaford.

Our sessions are every Thursday 10 am - 12noon
*We nearly always go over as we have so much fun together*

If you would like to pop in any time - we would very much welcome you.

If you would like to get involved, volunteer, donate, or visit us  to see what we are all about - please do not hesitate to get in touch with myself and the other voulenteers, will be only too happy to assist.

Best Wishes
