We are a grassroots community organisation built on the principles of mutual aid and social justice, dedicated to health justice for people living with the impacts of individual and collective trauma. We’re passionate advocates for the transformative power of love, friendship and community.

Dedicated to Healing, Community and Social Action 
We've run over 25 different community wellbeing projects and supported over 8500 people since we opened our doors in 2012. All this has only been possible with the help of almost 100 volunteers over the years offering their time to run these sessions:

- A low-cost Complementary Therapy Clinic for those living on little or no income to ease pain and reduce the impacts of stress and trauma

- Two weekly low-cost Meditation and Relaxation classes

- A weekly Wellbeing Cafe for Asylum Seekers offering food, advocacy, a food club and emotional support

- A monthly Wellbeing session offering trauma-informed massage for asylum seekers and refugees living with the impacts of torture, war, bereavement and injury.

Please help us to continue to support our community of carers, older people, young people, people living with long term health issues and those living in poverty. We've been here since 2012. We need to continue now more than ever - with your help we know we can do this.
