Waythrough (was Richmond Fellowship) – Liverpool Our Time Community Support

A project which aims to help adults with mental health issues.

We are a timebank specifically to help people who struggle with their mental health through the NHS “5 Ways to Wellbeing” i.e. through connecting with others, being active, helping others, learning something new and through being more present.

The timebank works whereby we facilitate the local community to help each other. For individuals they can get help from other timebank members. We can also set members up with free classes and workshops that may help whether that’s a wellbeing program such as CBT sessions, or classes that allow them to delve into a passion or hobby or activities that enable them to be more active.

With it being a timebank the only thing exchanged is time, so no money is involved. Everyone gives time to help others and everyone can get help from others. In doing so we create a community that supports each other, something that can be hard to find in modern living but which can have a tremendous effect on our mental health.
