We offer one-to-one peer support to adults in Tameside who are experiencing mental health difficulties. Our aim is to use coaching and mentoring techniques to support them to improve their mental health and wellbeing whilst reducing loneliness and isolation. 

Our offer is to support the client for up to 12 weeks in various ways including telephone support, doorstep engagements, face to face support in our offices, support to attend other local services and activities where they can access alternative support and become part of the community. This support is person centred and will look different for everyone, we want to empower you to make the choices yourself.

Volunteer Testimonials

"I want to thank you (and the peer support project) for your time, and all the experience I have gained. The managerial and clinical supervision provided to me, and the educational/qualification opportunities afforded to me. You have been a great mentor and I have learned a lot from yourself.”

"Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your team and giving me the opportunity to meet some wonderful people along the way. I have been sat here thinking about some of the clients I have had over the years, and they genuinely bring a smile to my face. It's been a remarkable experience and it has most certainly helped me grow and learn on a personal level.”

“Tuesday is my favourite day of the week, I genuinely get as much out of the service as the client.”
