Shed INC will provide a safe, creative, peer support space/ network, for residents living with mental health conditions and experiencing complex health treatments, waiting for treatment or managing a life changing diagnosis.
We are pleased to have just successfully received funding for Shed INC, a new, creative, peer support workshop for residents who are experiencing a life changing diagnosis, complex health treatments, waiting for treatment or experiencing serious social anxiety.
​
Funded by The Community Chest for Social Prescribing Grants, aimed at delivering projects designed to address health inequalities, to enable capacity building and support social prescribing activities for the residents across Barking and Dagenham.
​
Shed INC will be a chance to talk, a creative outlet to share challenges and what helps; a small, safe group that is intuitive, nourishing and creative, challenging feelings of isolation and helping to improve recovery.
