Summerhouse Services Ltd

We are a holistic and humanist not-for-profit organisation promoting mental health, resilience and free thinking for children, young people and those adults that inhabit their world. We provide a range of human-centred, outcome-led, orbital and unique training and support services. We have in person and virtual offers for all services, for which we have a nationwide remit. While we are only just over 2 years old as an organisation, the work and unique approach we use has been in the making and continually shaped in response to need for over 20 years in the voluntary sector by Founder and Director Penny Logsdail. Our creative, engaging, enjoyable and supportive offers are easy access, friendly and professional and never use power point, even for our virtual training! The focus instead is on lively interaction, enjoy as you learn and participation to own level of comfort. ALL offers are generic and for EVERYONE and we never target audiences with specific issues, as our services are both preventative and supportive in nature and importantly, NONE of our offers are therapy or counselling, although ALL the spaces we create facilitate climates that are potentially, therapeutic (helpful), motivational and healing in nature. We have had a fantastic reception since starting up in May 2021 and adults that come to our training use words such as ‘game changing’, ‘ground breaking’, ‘new’, ‘pioneering’, ‘straightforward’ and ‘value for money’ and young people generally find us ‘helpful’ ‘validating’, ‘relaxing’, ‘interesting’ and ‘really fun’! We have a range of offers young people, parents carers and practitioners that work to educate, support or motivate children and young people in different ways.
