Here at the Mental Health Hub, we offer a 12-month support placement in our charity shop for those over the age of 18 in recovery from ill mental health.   
  

During this time

·       Build social skills, confidence, and a network of people with similar experiences.

While there with us they’ll learn new skills, make new friends, and build confidence with the help of our mental health support team.

As this is a supported role, they are never pressured and progress through our retail training programme is at their own pace, deciding when they are ready to move from behind the scenes to a customer facing role.
