The Rawthey Project exists for public benefit, particularly (but not exclusively) those with backgrounds in the armed forces, emergency services, and NHS, who are in need or experiencing social or economic disadvantage.
​
We support individuals to access employment, education, and independent living, and we provide targeted assistance where needed, including mental health support, hardship relief, and access to accommodation or treatment.
Our model is peer-led and outcome focused. Volunteers with lived or professional experience help those facing isolation, risk, or disadvantage to navigate recovery with tailored support and shared understanding.
​
We can also offer residential recovery for up to 3 months. Our Tom Thacker Course provides an option for peer-led support in a safe and structured environment.
​
All support is led and guided by a Clinical Psychologist and other care professionals as needed. ​​​
