Bungee Jump
Tax deductible
Hello everyone! As you might remember me mentioning before I’m doing a Bungee Jump for a local mental health charity Capital Project that has helped me loads in the past and recently. Volunteering, training and working as a peer support worker. For me to move forward and recover from some rough and traumatic times being a member has helped with my self esteem, confidence and discrimination as well as stigma. To feel like you belong without judgement and given hope, encouragement and purpose. Anyway here’s abit of information about Capital and what they are about..... Founded in 1997, Capital is led by its members, staff, trustees and supporters - all of whom have lived experience of mental distress. We aim to work from a bottom-up approach, giving all a voice, using consultation and coproduction methods to encourage everyone to contribute their ideas and set the direction for the charity. We were founded upon developing training for people with lived experience at a time when people had no voice, and we became the independent representation of the lived experience community in the county which influenced local mental health services. We support a membership of about 300 people, offer training, support and a framework that ensures people can lead our work. We also provide independent accredited peer support in-reach services to acute mental health wards in West Sussex, as well as monthly peer led patient Viewpoint forums. Capital is part of an alliance of Voluntary Community & Social Enterprise organisations delivering services and working together as Pathfinder West Sussex, with a view to making local services accessible for anyone needing mental health support.
