First Step

Project Information

First Step connects people with opportunities, and with other people! 

A recovery focused project that delivers community engagement, purposeful (and enjoyable!) activity, and personal development opportunities to people experiencing and recovering from mental health and wellbeing issues. 

First Step can negotiate flexible opportunities, where people can start with one or two hours a week to introduce them to activities that can fit in with the demands of ongoing medication and therapeutic work, to individuals who have increased their volunteering activities and social networks to the point where they can take on social action challenges which could help them to achieve and sustain a sense of purpose and wellbeing.
