Deliver activities that support people with serious mental illness to engage in their local community. Activities range from walking groups, board game sessions, photography groups and healthy eating classes. Maybe you’ve got a skill to offer that would allow us to offer a new activity.

We love to support students to gain real world experiences. Whether you’re studying mental health, health & social care, public health, business, marketing, or any other subject, if you’ve got something to offer Chapter we’d love to hear from you.
