            [post_content] => The Springboard runs in various locations around Sheffield (except on bank holidays).  It is for people who are feeling low, isolated, anxious or struggling to manage their mental well being. It is a place where you can come along and have a chat about your situation and find out what is available to help you to move forward.

The Springboard offers:

 	
a warm friendly atmosphere with refreshments provided
 	
encouragement and support to take ownership of your situation
 	
the opportunity to try activities within the Springboard and the Time Builders programme
 	
trained volunteers available to offer support and advice
 	
information about opportunities and services
 	
encouragement and support to try new things
 	
the opportunity to make friends

So if you need help and encouragement to improve your situation, need information and support to do this, and are ready to challenge yourself - then get in touch or just turn up at one of the venues. You can search on this website for the the different Springboard events.

Please note: events may not be running on bank holidays and over the Christmas period. Please double check with the organiser (before attending) if you are unsure.

            [post_content] => Greenfingers is a horticultural therapy project based on Grimesthorpe allotments in Burngreave, Sheffield. They are a creative gardening group designed for individuals experiencing mental health difficulties. Their project aims for a friendly and accessible, local group which promotes positive mental health and welcomes people of all ages, races and cultures. Members can come and grow vegetables, fruits and flowers, take part in craft activities, take some time out to relax and help cook lunch using the produce grown on the allotment.

Adults can be referred by a health or social services professional such as a GP, Community Psychiatric Nurse, Counsellor or Social Worker. They are also able to take self referrals - contact them for a self-referral form and then ask your GP, Counsellor, Support worker etc. to fill out the assessment form. Please get in touch with them directly for more information.

Please note: events may not be running on bank holidays and over the Christmas period. Please double check with the organiser (before attending) if you are unsure.

            [post_content] => Walking for Purpose is a free walking and employment project which aims to engage with people across Sheffield who are currently looking for employment and to increase their physical activity levels through walking, which we know has proven significant health benefits.

The project provides a weekly programme of walks, workshops and experiences that are co-designed with the local Voluntary Community Sector in each local community.  The programmes run in 10 week blocks with the walks followed by workshops ranging in content from building confidence and self-belief to working closely with employment providers, making the most of their skills and knowledge to ensure an effective and enjoyable project.

Please note: events may not be running on bank holidays and over the Christmas period. Please double check with the organiser (before attending) if you are unsure.
