Rugby Mind was set up as a Charity in 1974. It aims to provide a sensitive, professional and cost effective support service for both adults with mental health or emotional problems and their carers.
We constantly seek funds to provide services to meet the needs of these client groups in the local community. The services aim to complement those resources available from statutory mental health providers and others within the voluntary sector.
The main areas of support are:-
Horizon Resource Service - Open Access to people in the local community who are experiencing / recovering from mental distress. Open for 21 hours each week to provide a safe and supportive environment in which to find out about: Mental Health Issues, Opportunities for Education, Employment and Training, What's going on in the Local Community, and Signposting to other organizations. This service promotes Social Inclusion and encourages Service User Empowerment. There are some Open Access activity groups that are available to Resource Service users. Core funded by Warwickshire County Council and Rugby Primary care Trust.
Horizon Social Support - This service offers all-round support to clients including:
- Recovery and Maintenance Activities.
- Special Interest Groups..
The Bungalow and Outreach Centres - provide a safe, stimulating Day Care environment for adults with dementia, enabling their carers to have a few hours break.
Other services include:-
A Carers Support Group that meets monthly.
A Social Self-help Group for Rugby Mind service users who organise regular social activities.
Volunteering Opportunities are available throughout Rugby Mind.
