Through a team of Psychological Support Practitioners, we offer focused strength-based psychological and emotional support on a one-to-one basis, enabling and empowering each individual to determine their own pathway and solution to reach their goals. Our group programme offers various wellbeing and therapy groups, focussed primarily on stress-reduction. Our outreach service has been a foundation of CAPEs work and continues to this day to connect with and support those who are unable to attend our building-based services due to severe crisis or chronic mental or physical ill health
Focused Therapeutic Services
CAPE provide focused therapeutic services to individuals with enduring mental health issues who live in the Borough of Ealing. Our psychotherapy services are provided via one-to-one or group therapy to individuals with complex mental health issues who experience barriers accessing talking therapies or other acute mental health services.
Signposting & Reconnecting into the community
At CAPE, we recognise that to fully support individuals with mental health issues, there will be partner charities and organisations that complement the work we do and can give further aid in other areas. CAPE signposts to these for the essential social interaction, life skills, reconnection to people, services, and communities they may require.
Co-Production Development & Partnerships
Through co-production with other organisations, we map essential connections and pathways. This same work will shape and influence the levelling up agenda and impact of COVID-19 and Brexit for service users. The development of CAPE services monitors and evaluates the activity, quality, data and feedback from individuals. We establish partnerships to provide specific services – i.e. for employment and vulnerable women. We build and develop partnerships that deliver on the articulated needs of those with complex mental health needs and support CAPE mission and objectives. Cultivate partnerships that will bring value to both parties and support income generation.
Vision & Values
Our vision is for a world where individuals experiencing complex and enduring mental ill health build their emotional resilience and can live a fulfilled life. We value the potential of every individual. Their skills, capacity, knowledge, potential and connections to live the life they choose. We promote collaborative models of working for individuals - enabling each to become their own co-producer of positive mental health. We safeguard each individual story - recognising the strengths and resilience of each one. We support prevention and independence - by promoting possibilities and solutions that enable and empower individuals to determine their own pathways. The mission is to provide psychotherapy services via a one-to-one basis or group therapy to individuals with complex mental health issues who experience barriers accessing talking therapies or other acute mental health services. Provide focused strength based emotional therapeutic services on a one-to-one basis, enabling and empowering individuals to determine their own pathways and solutions to reach their goals. Connect individuals to people, places, services and communities that support their sense of self and choices. Develop partnerships through co-production with other organisations, to map essential connections and pathways and develop further the ability to signpost.

CHARITY BOUTIQUE VOLUNTEERS
Volunteer at Cape
Community Activities Project Ealing (CAPE) was founded 21 years ago, to meet the needs of individuals living with mental health needs in the local community. Our founding service was a safe place where people could meet and take up peer support. However, over the years we have recognised that we are working with a wide range of needs that have an impact on an individual’s mental health and wellbeing, so we have developed and continue to develop a suite of services, voluntary and training positions to respond to a wide range of needs. We focus on the individual not just the diagnosis, which encourages us to recognise that each person is different and has complex needs and so our response needs to be multi-layered.
CAPE is a growing and thriving charity shop brand. We believe in serving our local community, creating a positive shopping experience for our customers and ensuring our donors know that we are grateful for their support.
We are seeking volunteers who can bring the following:
Great communication skills and love meeting people.
Some retail experience, although not essential as training will be provided.
A love of fashion and an eye for detail.
Ability to pick up large bags and provide light cleaning duties when required.
What we offer: -
A great place to volunteer.
A great team to work alongside.
20% volunteer discount on donated goods
Training on site.
If you have a few hours per week to spare and would like to volunteer, please fill out and send the application form. Application Form
