About our partnership
We've been putting mental health first for over 35 years. From our inception by a small but passionate group of social workers and nurses in the 1980s to becoming an organisation of over 300 staff delivering 25 services to nearly 8,000 clients across the South West in 2023, this is our story:
Alabaré is a homeless charity providing accommodation and practical support to people experiencing homelessness through a network of homes, drop-in centres and specialised support services.
Nilaari is a black-led charity that provides mental health support to adults aged 18+ from Black, Asian and Minoritised Communities.
Missing Link offer cutting edge women's mental health services with additional support for domestic abuse and victims of rape and sexual abuse.
