We offer range of activities and therapies which include: • Sailing Programmes • Children’s Residential Services • A range of therapies, projects, services and classes. • Employee Assistance Programmes • Consultancy work We launched in 2006 as a mental health charity with blue spaces (space connected to water and the sea) at the heart of our work. We were among the first to pioneer the importance of “blue health” and it’s benefits, and we continue to create ways of supporting people based on what works, not what’s conventional. Our belief is that combining blue spaces with mindful, compassionate interaction and therapies can heal trauma and improve people’s everyday wellbeing. We’re the first project of its kind in Europe and the first marine mental health service to gain backing from the NHS. We aim to support as many people as possible, finding them the right path to better long term mental health.
