Renew Wellbeing helps churches to host spaces for anyone wanting support with their mental and emotional wellbeing.
"I love coming to Renew. The walls were closing in on me at home. I could go all week without talking to anyone. Now someone knows my name."
Activity
A café-style space where hosts help individuals to join in with hobbies and optional prayer if they wish.
Time
It takes around 3-6 months to set up a Renew space. Training takes 2-3 hours and is followed by a sign-up session with an Area Coordinator prior to starting.
Cost
Online training, resources and ongoing support is provided free of charge to all churches. We ask that any in-person training or visiting costs are covered. We also ask churches to prayerfully consider a monthly gift of £30-£50 to support the charity.
Partnership
Through Renew Wellbeing you will learn how to partner with mental health services in your area.
Support
Renew Wellbeing provides annual training sessions, retreats and on-line resources. You can visit a local Renew space and/or receive a visit from a team member.
Resources
You will need a small café-style space with either a sectioned off area for prayer or a separate prayer/quiet room.
People
We suggest a minimum of 3-4 volunteer hosts who can give at least 2 hours a week. No qualifications are necessary, but lived experience of mental ill health may be helpful.
