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 core service and gateway to WEI support is “drop-ins”, where staff offer Support, Advice and Guidance Sessions - assistance ranges from food parcels, gas and electricity top ups, information and referrals to housing and benefits advice, help with external appointments and emotional support. We support through crises - we then start to help repair the causes and enable people to move on.Other Impact projects are vital for this “next step” as they move on from crisis - including mental health (Living Life to the Full), alcohol support (Chapter 12) and a range of volunteering opportunities (Innovate and Renovate). Making a Difference In the last 12 months (2014-15) WEI supported 416 individuals at its centre and provided 5,326 items of help mostly via drop ins (e.g. food parcels, gas top ups, benefits advice, emotional support).

Deaf Access
(UK, 1050990) Browse events
YTD Raised: £0.00Deaf Access provide a holistic range of services for Deaf and Hard of Hearing adults and children to improve and maintain their independence by providing information, support and services, as well as promoting public awareness and understanding. Deafness is not cute, does not tug on the heartstrings and people often think it is ‘less serious’ when they compare disabilities. Yet for the 1 in 6 adults & children with a hearing loss, being unable to follow conversation, missing vital information or social chit chat can have a devastating emotional impact. Their deafness cuts them off from people, their families, friends, groups and services- which negatively affects their independence, mental health and well being. In July 2010 BSMHD quoted the 2010 GP Survey statistics showing that Deaf people are the most discriminated against and most deprived in the country. They are far more likely to be unemployed; 13% compared to national average of 4%, have worse than average physical health-14% compared to 6%, those with poor health are 10% compared to national average of 6%. Deaf people are more likely to be a Carer; 26% compared to 9%. Crucially the mental wellbeing of the Deaf Community is far worse than the national average-10% of Deaf people having a psychological or emotional Condition, compared to 6%. This astonishing evidence is just a small example of why specialist support resource centres like Deaf Access are vitally needed.Your money will help us to be there for them- and you- when you need us by getting through the recession and cut backs- together we can make a difference! On behalf of Deaf Access, may we thank you for considering supporting us. Sue Craney Executive Director of Deaf Access Visit our Website at www.deaf-access.co.uk
