Blackpool Inspirations is a grass-roots, user-led organisation, run by and for people with mental health challenges.

We run social groups, activities and courses, have trips around the country and even have our own counsellor. Everything we do is based on peer support with people with their own lived experience of mental health difficulties. The friendships and community we create help people who otherwise may be very isolated and alone. You can come along with a support worker or family member at first if you like, or on your own.  members can have any type of mental health difficulty including depression, anxiety, schizophrenia and or any personality disorder. You don't need to be under any mental health services to join or even have a diagnosis. Anyone who self identifies as having mental health difficulties can come along. It is easy to think that only you feel this way and that you are alone.
