Our Mission

Our mission is to:

• Reduce social Isolation

• Improve Mental Health

• Build friendships

• Bring the community together 

• Promote connection and build confidence

• Build/Boost Self esteem  

• Increase knowledge

How we plan to do this

We plan to do this by offering:

• Therapy, Therapeutic and Well-being Services

• Education and Training

• Crafts such as Sewing & Embroidery

• Support Groups

• Specialist Assessments and Services

• Mindfulness

 

Therapy/Therapeutic Services- Some children and families unfortunately are not able to access statuary and government funding. We want to provide a service for those who otherwise could not afford or be able to access funding for Therapy sessions.

​

Well-being- we want to provide a range of well-being services to both adults and children. Many parents feel isolated, judged and unheard with little support available.

​

Training/Education- we want to provide training to people in the community both professionals and parents

Crafts- we want to make crafting more accessible to our community by providing specialist workshops and events for all ages.

 

Support Groups- we want to bring communities together by offering a range of support groups. 

 

Specialist Assessments and Services- we want to provide specialist services with state-of-the-art equipment which would otherwise not be available or accessible in the local community.

 

Mindfulness- we want to provide a range of mindfulness services to both children, adults and families.

 

However, we are open to suggestions to how we can support the needs of the community and welcome suggestions.

 

How we make decisions.

 

Michelle Schofield, Director leads and runs the day-to-day activities of the CIC, but there are a team of Directors who are responsible for the company alongside Michelle.  They come from a range of backgrounds and have different skills and experience to ensure our decision making is informed, balanced and in the best interests of our community.
