Express Group Fife (SCIO)

About

We provide twelve social activity groups each week right across Fife for adults experiencing poor mental health. Users are provided with a simple breakfast and lunch and can take part in a range of activities, or simply sit and chat with others. Staff also arrange occasional excursions and activities outwith the groups. We have two caseworkers who assist service users in need of a bit more help, Things such as dealing with letters from banks or council, or help with form filling or attending appointments. Each year we run circa. 575 groups, excursions or days out with over 3,400 attendees made up of around 110 individuals. People don’t require a medical diagnosis to use our services as we feel prevention is the best approach, so we aim to help people maintain their mental wellbeing in the hope that it prevents the need for medical intervention.
