Evolving Mindset CIC's mission is to actively engage, educate, and empower individuals, groups, and organisations across Merseyside. Our focus is on erasing the stigma surrounding mental ill health by providing educational support and fostering a culture of understanding, strength, and acceptance. We believe that mental health challenges should not be a source of shame, and our work is aimed at building a future where individuals feel supported and empowered to seek help when needed to help people function better and overcome barriers to assist them to thrive in their life. Our mission is rooted in the understanding that our mental health is equally as important as our physical health. We deliver Ofqual-regulated qualifications and bespoke mental health education and training to organisations, schools, and the Third Sector. As a social enterprise, we reinvest all our profits into providing free community mental health and employment workshops for the people of Knowsley and beyond, focusing on those individuals who need it most. Our Three Pillars: Engage, Educate, Empower: Engage: We actively engage with our local community through outreach programs and strategic partnerships. We work closely with schools, colleges, healthcare providers, local authorities, and grassroots organisations to ensure that mental health and employment support is accessible to everyone. Our partnerships allow us to reach vulnerable individuals, offering them the help they need in a compassionate, non-judgmental environment. Educate: Education is at the heart of our mission. Through our innovative psycho-educational support programs, we deliver practical and accredited qualifications that enhance mental health awareness. We offer training in areas such as mental health first aid, safeguarding, stress and anxiety management, and resilience building. Our programs are designed to equip individuals with the tools to manage their mental well-being and help others. We believe that education is the key to breaking down the barriers associated with mental ill health. Empower: We empower individuals and organisations by giving them the knowledge and skills to take control of their mental health. Our goal is to create an environment where mental health concerns are openly discussed and help-seeking behaviours are normalised. By providing resources and training, we enable people to overcome barriers to help them thrive mentally and emotionally in their personal and professional lives. Collaborative Approach: Evolving Mindset CIC understands that mental health challenges are complex and multi-faceted. That is why we adopt a collaborative approach, working with strategic partners across various sectors. Whether it's through our partnerships with local colleges to provide functional skills in English and Maths alongside mental health qualifications or our involvement in the New Community Mental Health Framework with the NHS, our mission is strengthened by the power of collaboration. Our work with the Knowsley Mental Health Resilience Forum and local Chambers of Commerce demonstrates our commitment to embedding mental health and employment support within the community. These partnerships ensure that we can deliver targeted, effective services that meet the specific needs of individuals and groups in Knowsley. By working together with our partners, we aim to create a network of support that strengthens the mental health infrastructure of the region. Accessibility and Inclusivity: A core element of our mission is to make mental health and employment support accessible and inclusive for all. We believe that everyone should have the opportunity to receive help, regardless of their background or circumstances. That's why we focus on delivering free mental health workshops for underrepresented and disadvantaged groups, including young people, adults, and marginalised communities. Our Knowsley Young Minds program, for example, provides free mental health support to young people aged 14-24, helping them build resilience and improve their prospects for the future. Similarly, our mental health workshops for adults focus on reducing isolation, improving well-being, and equipping participants with the tools to manage their mental health effectively. Stigma Reduction: At the core of our mission is the desire to reduce the stigma surrounding mental ill health. We believe that by educating individuals and communities about mental health, we can challenge misconceptions and foster a more compassionate society. We want to create an environment where people feel comfortable discussing their mental health openly, without fear of judgment. Through our training programs, workshops, and community initiatives, we are working to dismantle the stigma that often prevents individuals from seeking help. Our approach is one of empowerment- by normalising conversations about mental health, we give individuals the confidence to take action when needed. Our goal is to create a future where mental health care is viewed as a natural part of our overall well-being, and where seeking help is seen as a strength rather than a weakness. Long-term Vision: Our long-term vision is to build a community where mental well-being thrives and where everyone has the support they need to live fulfilling healthy lives. Through our work, we aim to contribute to a shift in how mental health is perceived and managed across Knowsley. By fostering a culture of empathy, education, and empowerment, we are paving the way for a future where mental health support is easily accessible, and where individuals can achieve their full potential at the earliest opportunity without the burden of stigma.

Make CIC's vision is to see people turn their passion into prosperity. The mission is to provide services; support people; facilitate resources and networks in order that people can live happy, healthy and prosperous lives. This will be done by providing affordable, community-focused creative work environments; nurture people's curiosity to learn skills; facilitate access to opportunities and resources; bring people together by building networks and hosting events; as well as transform the environments around us and ultimately people's lives. To stay true to this mission we will act with a set of values in mind; to be curious, constructive and transformative. Curious We will be endlessly curious, always thinking, 'How could we do this differently?' Encouraging and inspiring independent thinking and challenges to the norms of 'This is how it's always been done.' Removing barriers by cherishing and treasuring difference. And making our creations in the new thinking spaces we then find. This helps us to break down barriers and disrupt the norm. Constructive We are ambitious about making things memorable. In what we make, repurpose, put on and deliver we are conscious of developing the effectiveness and well-being of our community. By teaching and sharing skills, building things and ensuring the opportunities for the greater good of generations to come. We will be around the table, constructively engaging in the conversations of our time. Transformative We work consistently to be part of positively transforming the places where we are and the lives of people within that place. Through the tangible impact of being embedded, we see Make as a responsible and long-term encourager of positive changes, with self-sufficiency.

Growing works mission is to nurture lives to empower vulnerable people to build resilience. We don't only grow vegetables, we grow people. Our aims are: To promote good health in communities by providing inclusive and creative opportunities for physical activity. To aid mental well-being though the provision of outdoor therapeutic activity for: Families with complex needs People in isolated and vulnerable circumstances People with mental health issues Provide education on the natural environment and the seasons through gardening and outdoor activities for all. To run an outdoor therapeutic centre offering activities and training to a community of 500 members alongside providing satellite services to local boroughs. To be part of a community of services breaking down barriers to inclusion. Growing works values are empowering people by: Connecting to the natural world Creating inclusive and supportive communities Improving health and happiness Our Projects Include: SPRout (Strong Parents Reaching out): An innovative and unique project using a whole family approach for families who have children/young people with additional needs. SPRout provides a social group for mutual support alongside fun activities designed to increase skill in a non-judgmental, outdoor environment. The group offers space for families to relax, have fun together, enjoy the outdoors, try new things, gain skills, build confidence and share their experiences. Families make connections with others facing similar challenges therefore feel stronger together. It is aimed at all ages and abilities. Typically, families who attend have conditions including autism, ADHD, sensory impairment, sensory integration difficulties and learning disabilities although no diagnosis is required; Sprout is for anyone who feels they need a bit of extra support. Many families are affected by hidden disabilities which have additional challenges such as lack of understanding which increases feelings of isolation. Sprout has a strong foundation; initiated by parents themselves, it has run on Saturday mornings since April 2012. Over the past 6 months with team has built in strength and numbers to allow us to run a second venue due to demand and feedback from our participants and funders. We are passionate about this project because we have seen the difference it makes. We document these benefits through check in and out wellbeing surveys, 6 months in depth survey, participant profiles, photographic and observational records of individual's journey as well as written and verbal participant feedback. Young Shoots: this project was developed at the request of SPRout parents for specific work with children aged 13+ . With no parent present we offer a high staff ratio. The aim is for the children to gain life skills and confidence for independent living. Growing Works do this through 4-week blocks of 2 hours a week which we encourage attendance for the whole four weeks. There is no need to attend each course so the participant can select through interest and location. Cooking healthy food is a key course which is always popular. Other courses include bushcraft, conservation and exploration. Whatever the subject Growing Works encourage socialisation, team work, respecting boundaries and developing self-worth. The courses involve cooking, bushcraft and environmental exploration. We see places book up quickly and know that the Young people value and enjoy them as many return to further sessions. The short time commitment per week also makes it accessible for a wide range of individuals and we are encouraging them to return over a period of years. There are also opportunities for longer sessions in school holidays. Budding Up: Therapeutic gardening groups for people with long term physical and mental health conditions, carers and other isolated adults. These small groups meet in their community to enjoy the benefits of gardening and socialising in the outdoor environment. Gardening therapeutically supports mental health and well-being through activity sessions based on growing, involving shared experiences, enjoying food and bonding with others. Many of our participants live alone and cook and eat alone. Growing Works are helping individuals to gain confidence in socialising again increase self-worth and desire to return to employment where appropriate. Root: This project incorporates our fledgling herb and craft enterprise - giving volunteers confidence in creation. It also involves work experience in landscaping and garden maintenance. This is a key project for allowing adults to take a more active role in the charity and giving valuable volunteer opportunities whilst they are required. In order to play our part in creating a strong inclusive community Growing Works connect with many other charity and voluntary groups working locally. Examples of this are: planting fruit trees with local children outside their centre, hosting groups (Prince's Trust, Lab Project, Olive Branch, Kirklees College, Good Gym, River Holme Connections) at our site. This gives the opportunity for our volunteers and participants to engage with other groups and link into mainstream volunteering. Growing Works are also members of umbrella networking groups Natural Kirklees and Third Sector Leaders and attend local ward meetings to ensure we are working with others in the most efficient way possible (reducing duplication and adding value where others are focussing efforts) Growing Works core team have excellent skills in food growing but also heritage crafts (basketry, green woodworking), healthy cooking, bushcraft, native ecology which we pass onto participants during sessions. A key message is "do try this at home" and we encourage exploration of materials and methods and to share what has been learnt. Our led activities contribute to practicing gross and fine motor skills, provide occupational therapy, skills for independent living, and improved, wellbeing through connection and appreciation of nature regardless of the project that they are attached to. The future: In 2018 Growing Works received a unique opportunity to develop a council green space into a therapeutic centre. In the past 6 months we have gained funds and organised installation of Off-grid toilet, polytunnel shelter to complement the existing excellent tool storage, donated to us by Comoodle (Kirklees sharing service). Further development will continue with local groups to develop a sense of ownership and ensure the long-term sustainability of the project. The over-all aim is to increase accessibility for physical disability and a sensory garden, landscape the space for better use for green woodworking, basketmaking and bushcraft and create a safe, secure, off-grid, therapeutic space which can be accessed by all. This will be carried out with groups from the community, including our BUD and Young Shoots groups and where appropriate through the sourcing of capital funding. The aim for this site is to be self-supporting in time with volunteers able to open for groups and assign tasks. A small charge could be taken to cover a weekly clean of key areas. Currently a site manager is required to direct development of the site and it is projected that it will be three years before the site is "self -supporting", reducing in hours from 4 days per week in first year to 2 days in third year. Aims of site manager: Encourage and support a group of volunteers in construction. This group would be able to fix and create tools, baskets, trugs and benches. Skills sharing is key in use of woodworking areas that they will help develop in their own time. Encourage and support a group of volunteer gardeners (one morning a week) to grow organic seasonal food on the two plots that Growing Works have, share skills with new plot holders (there are a further 15 plots with many new) and support other groups to grow on the allotment. Encourage and support a "friends of" group to support running events for promotion and fundraising with the aim of these being entirely volunteer led in future. Growing Works will continue to run Budding Up/SPRout/Young Shoots and other projects as funds allow, hopefully for many years to come. However, the long term aim is that the availability of this unique green space to the local community would not be affected by Growing Works future project funding status.
