An Introduction to Pepper’s - A Safe Place
Pepper’s A Safe Place is Support group based in Oakham. It was set up to offer volunteering opportunities to people in Rutland with severe and enduring mental health conditions. It is currently a place where people can meet in a safe, informal and welcoming environment whilst enjoying a cup of coffee or a bowl of soup. As our volunteers grow in confidence they will be invited to expand and run the centre. Having a go at being part of the centre will enable people to build work skills and self-esteem, to develop a role, structure and routine and, above all, to feel a sense of belonging and achievement. The aim is that Pepper’s is used as a stepping stone for a more formal work arrangement and a move towards greater independence. Our website has more information https://www.peppersrutland.co.uk/
