LITTLE HUB OF HOPE

WHAT IS LITTLE HUB OF HOPE?

We are a small team of volunteers supporting people who are struggling with their mental health, through friendship and creativity.

​

We initially started up to support those who had attempted suicide, or felt suicidal and had very little support. However, we want to be there for as many people as possible before it comes to that point.

We are here for you whatever your situation, whether you are...

• Feeling isolated and would like to meet others in a safe space

• Experiencing anxiety, stress and/or depression

• Supporting or caring for others

• Want to express your emotions through creativity and have a safe space to do this

• Have a long/short term mental health diagnosis and in need of some extra support

• Are experiencing thoughts of hopelessness or suicidal ideation

• Just feeling a bit overwhelmed at the moment and don’t know where to turn.

​

For many of our volunteers, relationships and creativity have played a big part in their own personal recovery and in supporting their wellbeing. It also plays a big part in the service we offer.

​

OUR VISION

We believe that all lives matter, and that no one deserves to come to a place of hopelessness where taking their own life feels like the only option. We want to see lives restored, and meaning and purpose found.

​
