The Role

Clubhouses provide Members with defined work-ordered days, that include meetings, running the Clubhouse and decision making responsibilities.

For example, an Education and Employment Unit where Members attend training, gain skills and search for employment; or a Business and Administration Unit where Members record attendance, host reception and connect with partners and stakeholders.

What is a Clubhouse?

A Clubhouse is a non-clinical model of recovery focused on offering people living with mental health conditions an opportunity to engage in meaningful work, with structure, routine, friendship, and social interactions in a safe environment.
