Our objectives

1.  Develop our involvement in the education sector raising awareness and developing different ways for people to access education opportunities

2. Work more closely with community groups, using our voluntary sector expertise to access new funding etc.

3. Increase our own funding base

4. Continue to build our own infrastructure, in particular the necessary expertise to be a viable, innovative, quality and flexible organisation

5. Increase the range of employment opportunities for our users

6. Work more closely with GPs to offer support at the first signs of mental ill health – helping people to stay in work for instance.

7. Develop other ways to work with people to reduce the impact of mental ill health – e.g. the development of a crisis house which will be developed and monitored by service users, and staffed by professionals

8. Support the reconfiguration and modernisation of all services providing employment opportunities for people with mental health issues in our local area.
