Welcome! Our Citizens Advice Bureau provides advice in the Stroud District in Gloucestershire. In our last financial year we helped 3,350 individuals who raised a total of 9,200 issues with us. For many of these people, I feel we are the real fourth emergency service. But we are a charity and funding limits what we can do. And our funding has been hit by the cuts. So if you want to make a real difference to lives in the Stroud District, please give generously! Every pound helps. If you would like to help in other ways - for example organising a coffee morning, undertaking a sponsored challenge or other event to support the bureau please let me know. Peter Rowe (Trustee) Tel: 01452 813228 The Citizens Advice service provides free, independent, confidential and impartial advice to everyone on their rights and responsibilities.

Anyone can be struck down with illness. For some, however, illness becomes a life-long struggle which can result in losing a job, friends and a love of life. Blackthorn Garden is a community where by working together, one can find friends and security, learn new skills, feel valued and gain confidence to face the world at large. The Garden was founded in 1991 and has attracted strong support and funding from Socail Services and the NHS ever since. It also benefits from grants and donations from national and local charitable trusts, local businesses and individuals. Blackthorn Garden exists to assist individuals (known as co-workers) with a range of mental and physical health conditions, to build or gain confidence and self-esteem and to develop life and work skills. A varied and healthy work community is formed alongside staff and volunteers. The work undertaken in various workshops contributes to recovery and generates income to help sustain the work here. Standards are high, so many customers from the local community value the fruits of this labour. Working the land, living by the seasons, growing plants, preparing good food and serving others in a simple and light-filled environment or expressing their creativity through craft work, offer the conditions that encourage recovery. A respect for all that lives helps cultivate the healthy and responsive side of each person, however ill he or she might be. In such a climate, illness falls into the background and true character shows through, allowing the individual to embrace change and re-engage with the outside world. Our social enterprise activites consists of a Plant Nursery, Bakery, Vegetarian Cafe, Crafts, Woodwork, Herbs and Biodynamic Vegetable Garden.
