Sunderland Headlight
About us
Headlight is a service user led Mental Health Resource Centre. The centre provides information around mental health issues, provides volunteer opportunities, and signposts members in the right direction. We run various courses and recreational activities. We encourage participation and aim to build members confidence to be inclusive members of Headlight and the wider community.
Headlight believes that everyone has something to offer and that individuals develop a sense of belonging through participation and relationship building. Encouraging the development of community values has helped to create the caring environment people experience when they access the service offered.
Assisting individuals to engage in activities and speak up in a group environment is often a massive step forward and is the enabling factor in members believing in themselves and their own experiences and most importantly is making steps towards recovery.
We believe that everyone has something to offer and we all work towards creating
