START is a Salford based mental health charity that uses creativity, connection and recovery interventions to help improve people's lives. We are passionate about providing the very best support for the people in our community who we are lucky enough to meet through our work.

All of our work is directed towards improving the health and wellbeing of target groups within the local community, in particular people who are at risk of experiencing mental health difficulties. 

We offer a number of specific programmes, all of which help people to recognise their potential, reconnect with others and integrate back into their neighbourhoods; providing onward pathways into a network of community assets to support them to engage in further training, education, employment, volunteering and leisure pursuits.

Our Values- 4 pillars that underpin our organisation
Creative- we value the potential creativity has for improving mental health and the power it gives to all of us to think differently and to innovate
Compassionate- we view the world through a compassion focused lens; we allow ourselves to feel and this helps to drive our mission and impact
Collaborate- working together is at the heart of everything we do; with the people we support, our staff and volunteers and the other organisations we collaborate with to achieve the best outcomes for our community
Committed- we strive to be the best, to ensure people get the best; as individuals and as a company we are committed to focussing on strengths and to continually learn and evolve
