Synergy Creative Community CIC is a peer-led space for connection, community, recovery, inclusion and creative expression. Synergy develops the potential of members to improve mental health and physical well-being through the use of creative arts, peer support, workshops, training and nutrition. It is a place to feel at home, to spend time with others, to be creative and enjoy a nourishing tasty meal. We are a mutually supporting group. We all have mental health issues, or an interest in mental health issues. We run Synergy for and by ourselves, independent of NHS or Social Services. This includes everything from setting up in the morning, helping with the food preparation, facilitating a workshop, through to fundraising and running the company. Our focus is on better health through community, creativity, mindfulness and nutrition. The creativity-based structure of the day provides the foundation for members to socialise and gain confidence in an environment where we are all valued. We feel that this aids prevention, as well as recovery, acting as a bridge between the hospital and/or clinical services and the wider community. It can help to reduce the risk of isolation and hospital admittance rates, and also helps to reduce the stigma surrounding mental health. In 2024 no new grants or donation were received towards delivery of services. The Peer Support group is running independently of Synergy CIC as an Unincorporated Association with its own constitution and bank account, the group is called: 'Synergy Peer Support Community Group'.
The views and feedback of Synergy peers inform how the project is design and delivered, the ‘peer focus group’ meets regularly to discuss and reflect on how services are tailored and maintained and this informs future developments. Evaluation and monitoring from Synergy participants is captured regularly during the year and guides our delivery. Feedback has been very positive, indicating an increasing need for this type of community based, peer-focussed activity. Weekly questionnaires are completed and show that 94% of participants felt the sessions had a positive impact on their mental health recovery, with a number of participants volunteering and leading workshops themselves.
