St Andrew's Road, Barming, Maidstone, ME16 9AN
What we do
The Blackthorn Trust has been helping people to improve their mental and physical health for over 35 years. People come to Blackthorn on 6 month placements to engage in a programme of activities specially selected for their individual needs.
This could include working in the garden, the café, or participating in workshop activities, but every day is punctuated by taking communal breaks together. The rhythmical nature of the day creates structure, social cohesion and a sense of safety. The workshops provide a forum for hidden talents to reveal themselves, and exchange of stories and ideas, and a gradual strengthening of individual will that paves the way for change.
This programme is accessed via referrals from GPs or mental health professionals.
Eligibility criteria can be found on the referral pages on our website.
