This innovative project offers a diverse array of support mechanisms, encompassing one-on-one peer support, art therapy, counselling, and a variety of activities that center around the five ways to well-being.

These activities include physical and creative engagements, community involvement, and opportunities for meaningful connections with others.

"We understand the unparalleled demands placed on individuals working within the health & social care and voluntary sector, and the Linchpin project is our proactive response to provide the crucial support they deserve," said Hayley Doubtfire, Linchpin Coordinator at Scarborough, Whitby & Ryedale Mind.
