Boundervean Support group

Hi my name isJill Barber and I work with supporting people with mental health issues in the local community. 5 years ago I started a self help support group that meets weekly and supports people in independent living skills, encouraging them to challenge social anxieties and stigma. The lovely people that attend work really hard with supporting each other to stay out of hospital. They have built confidence and really have took ownership of the group cause it means a lot too them. We take a trip out each month to encourage them to feel part of their local communities and this also builds confidence and empowerment. We have to self fund to keep the group going and this year the group want to do a sponsered walk 13.3 miles from Penzance to helston, to some this may not seem a challenge, but you would be wrong the guys doing the walk suffer daily with depression, social anxiety, bi polar and schizophrenia. To them this is huge, but they love the group that much they really want to challenge themselves. Please support us to keep the group going.
