Coming alongside through life's ups and downs
More and more people in and around Sudbury are experiencing emotional distress and anxiety over issues such as family pressures, mental health, loneliness, uncertainty.
Operating from our centre at 72 North Street in Sudbury, we listen without judgement and offer emotional support and practical help when life feels overwhelming.
Our welcoming coffee shop is a great place to meet friends or have a private chat with one of our team.
Coffee shop drop-in open Tues, Weds & Thurs 09:30-12:30
(Appointments available Mon-Thurs 09:30-16:00)
(School term time only)
In our calm, warm, welcoming space we offer:
-
Refreshments and the opportunity to build friendships
-
Free information, confidential listening, advice/signposting, emotional support, early help with mental health
-
Help with completing forms (e.g. around benefits, housing, utilities)
-
Craft sessions to help improve wellbeing – knitting/crocheting, glass painting and more
-
Calming canine cuddle sessions with therapy dogs
In the Sudbury community itself we offer:
-
We can offer self-esteem, anger management and bereavement courses in schools, helping children feel heard and supported at critical times of their lives
-
We also deliver parenting courses to help stressed parents including parents of children with SEN
We are part of a wider local network of care, too:
We work alongside Sudbury GPs, counselling services, family services, schools, social services.
We help people who are waiting for statutory support, or do not meet referral thresholds, or need additional assistance
alongside professional care.
We complement these services rather than replace them, helping to hold people steady and prevent issues from
escalating.
-
We offer our services free so that cost is not a barrier to people needing support. But we can’t continue do this without your help!
-
Right now, demand for our support is increasing and we are facing a serious funding shortfall.
