More information
Make, Do and Mend was founded in 2010 in Cambridge by a small group of people with personal and familial experience of mental ill-health. They wanted to break down the social isolation and stigma that people can experience when they are unwell. They offer opportunities for people to take an active part in their community in order to increase their self-esteem, confidence and well-being.
All of the activities are free to attend.
