About Us
Your Wellbeing is
Our Responsibility
iMatter Warrington and North West is a community interest organisation aimed at protecting the most vulnerable members of the community in Warrington and the surrounding areas. We aim to meet the needs of Black Africans and Ethnic minority groups within the community, providing support and a listening ear.
Promoting public policy changes
iMatter CIC aims to achieve to promote public policy changes by:
- Providing one to one services and mentoring
- Connecting into existing services like the NHS and developing well-being strategies and training
- Liaising for stability in the community (medication review, nutrition and lifestyle, financing and budgeting, housing support) etc.
- Risk and need assessments
We value each individual, and provide a person-centred support package addressing social isolation and poor access to quality assessments and referrals into NHS services, especially those with no tangible social or informal support.
This service was created out of the need for community-based promotion for positive mental health and well-being. There is also utmost need for the project to support the mental health of young people and helping them not to get to crisis point. This creates a shift from focusing on hospital based environment to community mental health support.
