We are a mental health charity offering a range of services and activities to promote positive mental health and wellbeing. NoW staff are able to deliver activities including (but not limited to) counselling; mindfulness; cycling; jogging; peer support; Chilling Women aromatherapy; and yoga and relaxation techniques. These activities are currently free of charge and are available to people living in the NHS Grampian area.

Our Bike Shack project offers affordable bike servicing, sales of pre-loved bikes, and volunteer support to those who wish to help out in the project.

NoW works alongside other agencies to support positive mental health and well-being and these include local schools; care homes; substance misuse organisations; Veteran’s organisations; GP practices; and local charities, groups, and organisations.

During 2020 NoW adapted services to include online delivery using platforms such as Zoom and Whatsapp, and can support people to ‘get connected’ using these apps.

NoW is a grant funded Charity and all funds raised cover the costs of our services – which means that the services we offer are free of charge and accessible to all.

NoW’s services are available to those aged 16 and over – with no upper age limit and our Counselling service is open to young people aged 11 and over.
