Chard Watch CIC

Who we are

Mission

To empower individuals to reach their full potential and reduce social isolation.

Vision

Our vision is for all adults (18+) to have the quality peer support they need to build personal resilience and thrive.

We will make this happen by:

• Supporting peer groups to form and enabling them to flourish.
• Providing high-quality peer support services in communities. 
• Building confidence and peer friendships.
• Building a networked team in collaboration with other like minded organisations.  
• Raising awareness of the issues of adult social isolation.

We give members an elevated sense of confidence and empowerment by enabling them to take their own positive steps. Change comes from within and we help people fulfil their potential through workshops and activities like: art, reading, drama, personal awareness courses, IT, and most importantly peer relationships.

Founded in 2010 by peer members, we have built the project around our lived experience to help reach out and engage with other isolated and lonely people in the community. Members say that WATCH improves their confidence, makes them feel empowered, has introduced them to new friends and enabled them to take their own positive steps.
