What this page is and is not

This page is here to help people find local community groups, wellbeing spaces, Dreamscape pathways and helpful local support.

It is for signposting only.

Dreamscape does not provide crisis support, clinical support, therapy, medical advice, safeguarding services or emergency help.

Being listed on this page does not mean Dreamscape formally recommends, approves, regulates or checks every service.

Please check directly with each organisation for current information, costs, availability, referral routes, suitability and accessibility.

Ask to be listed on this page

Are you a local organisation, CIC, charity, business, community group, support service or wellbeing space that would like to be considered for this page?

You can complete the form below and Dreamscape will review your details.

Being submitted does not guarantee you will be listed.

Before asking to be listed

Dreamscape may choose whether or not to list a service, group or organisation.

This page is for signposting. Being listed does not mean Dreamscape formally recommends, approves or checks every service.

Please make sure your contact details, costs, referral routes, location and support offer are clear.

Dreamscape may avoid listing services where information is unclear, unsafe, misleading or not suitable for this page.

Dreamscape may update, pause or remove listings if information changes, concerns are raised or the listing no longer feels suitable.
