The Community Programme serves to support members in identifying and accessing local community organisations through a tailored programme of free activities.
The programme works with adults 18+ who may be struggling with their mental health, isolation or social exclusion, and supports them in reconnecting with their community. Members have access to a wide range of workshops, social spaces and courses accessible for free for Camden residents.

“I thought the Healthy Minds Programme would help me to be less isolated, but really what I didn’t expect is to make new friends. There is nothing nicer than turning up to activities and seeing familiar faces. It has been wonderful.”
“It was your organisation that broke the curse. After 6 months you gave me a bursary for an art course at the Mary Ward centre and the last thing I did with you after being with you for 11 months was the Portugal Prints course. It released me. Since then I have been painting every day and will be holding an exhibition at Saint Pancras hospital sometime soon, I even painted a piece called Mind in Camden! Portugal Prints also put me in touch with Sane, they have arts grants. I’ve applied to start a course at the Working Men’s college so I may be going back to school soon! Thank you for everything. it gave me purpose.”
“I have so enjoyed by time at Healthy Minds. I have met new people; done lots of different things. It’s a brilliant programme which gets me out of my head and out and about. It’s been an amazing year!”
