Supporting adults with a lived experience of mental health to reach their potential.

BAND’s services are delivered by a dedicated team of staff and volunteers. Many of us have lived experience ourselves and we recognise and celebrate the value that peer support brings to our work.

• Provide support to attend appointments

• Help to grow self-esteem and self confidence.

• Support people to understand when their symptoms have a negative impact on their lives, and to find ways to overcome this.

• Encourage and motivate people to make positive changes

• Increase social contact with other people.
