What matters to us

We can finally share a little secret we’ve been holding close.....

This February, we’ll be opening the doors to our new Community Creative Hub.

It’s a space shaped by connection. A place to come together, learn new skills, share what you love, and spend time with others in a way that feels safe, welcoming, and human. Whether that’s through creativity, conversation, movement, or something quietly thoughtful, this hub is about people being with people.

We believe creativity and learning sit at the heart of wellbeing. When we make space to connect, confidence grows, isolation eases, and community starts to feel possible again.

As we prepare to open, we’re inviting anyone who would like to hold a workshop to get in touch. This could be art, music, crafts, writing, wellbeing, life skills, or something entirely your own. If you have something to share and a gentle, inclusive way of holding space, we would love to hear from you.

Please email Contact@stable-minds.co.uk with a little about your idea.

More details coming very soon. We can’t wait to welcome you in.

We are really proud to share something new with our community.

Thanks to funding from Manchester Airport , we have opened a dedicated gaming suite at Stable Minds Childrens centre. This space allows us to offer therapeutic support through gaming, meeting children and young people in a world that already feels familiar and safe to them.

Since lockdown, we have seen a significant rise in social anxiety among children and young people. For many of the young people we support, gaming has been one of the few places where they have felt connected, confident and understood. It has come up again and again in conversations with families and young people themselves.

As always, we have listened.

This gaming suite is not about screens for the sake of it. It is about using gaming as a bridge. A gentle first step into support for those who may find traditional counselling overwhelming or inaccessible. Through guided gaming sessions, our practitioners can build trust, explore emotions, support regulation, and gradually help young people develop confidence both online and offline.

We hope this will be a meaningful intervention for children and young people who struggle to walk through the door, but are ready to connect in their own way. It is another way we are meeting young people where they are, not asking them to fit into a system that does not work for them.

Thank you to Manchester Airport for believing in this work, and to our community for continuing to shape the services we offer. We cannot wait to see the impact this space will have. 💙

🚨 Important Update from Stable Minds🚨

Our original Instagram pages were recently hacked and permanently suspended, which means we’ve sadly lost access to years of memories, updates and community connections.

But we’re starting fresh — and stronger — with one new joint page for both our children & young people’s centre and our adult services.

👉 Please follow to stay connected, see our latest projects and continue being part of the Stable Minds community.

Every follow, share and tag helps us rebuild what we’ve lost. Thank you for always standing beside us.

With warmth,
The Stable Minds Team

We all need some support - we're here.

We were invited to meet the High Sheriff of Cheshire, the amazing donors who had funded us through a grant earlier this year, and Helen from the to talk all things Stable Minds. Sitting there and sharing our story was emotional. It reminded me how far we’ve come and just how many lives have been touched along the way.

We spoke about where it all began ..with a girl, a rainbow umbrella and a plan to make mental health support feel human again. To see that small act of kindness grow into two community hubs, an outreach service and a team who give everything they have to help others was really special.

It felt amazing to talk about what’s next too, and the exciting projects we have moving forward to make mental health support even more accessible for the people who need it most.

I left feeling proud, a little teary and incredibly grateful. Grateful for the belief others have shown in us, and for every single person who continues to walk beside us on this journey.

A huge thank you to Helen and the team at the Cheshire Community Foundation, and to the donors who have supported Stable Minds — your kindness and belief in what we do truly makes a difference.
