COVID-19
In order to help reduce the spread of Coronavirus (COVID 19) 4Winds delivered all of its services remotely during the pandemic. We have now returned to our office base and are offering 1:1 sessions in person, as well as two Open Access afternoon sessions in person per week. We also facilitate outdoor peer support sessions and activities in the community. Please contact us for details. We are still here to support you and can be contacted in the usual ways.

4Winds recognises that recreational, educational and social activities are important factors in all of our mental health and that they can play a crucial role in recovery; participating in enjoyable and meaningful recreational, educational and social activities can have a major impact on health, well-being and quality of life. We have good links with a range of community organisations and wherever possible encourage people to access opportunities within the community. However, we also deliver a range of groups/activities at the centre; these can provide important taster sessions, rekindle old skills or learn new ones. We are committed to helping people achieve their potential and find that the kind of activities we offer can provide an important first step towards recovery.
‘I was nervous about going to the ballet. I had been very unwell with depression and anxiety and had developed a fear of busy places. However, I used to love going to the ballet and was encouraged to join a group visit. The thought of being with people who understood my anxieties helped. I am so pleased I went, it was wonderful and those couple of hours felt like the longest break I’d had from my negative thoughts in a long time. It did me the world of good and has has rekindled my love of ballet.’
