We aim to promote Social Inclusion for disadvantaged adults in North Somerset with particular emphasis on those who have a mental health problem or have had a drug or alcohol issue. We also want to serve the general community and run various sessions evenings and weekends that we hope to be of interest to many.

We are an independent Consortium but our main funding comes from North Somerset Council (NSC) and Avon & Wiltshire Mental Health Partnership NHS Trust (AWP). We are also supported by the Workers Educational Association (WEA), North Somerset Council Community Learning, Weston College, NHS North Somerset, Positive Steps, and many other organisations.

We engage advisors that can provide information and advice and/or guide you to a person or agency that can help you with your particular issues.

When our rooms are not being used for our own courses we do let them out to other organisations. Those with aims similar to ours can be given a discount but we also take commercial bookings and can make arrangements for catering.
