About Us | History | Joining Beside | Beside in the news

Beside is a Tower Hamlets–based charity working with people who have recurrent or long term mental health difficulties. Our aim is to enable our members to rediscover their inner resources and develop strategies to support their mental health and wellbeing.

We do this by:

• Enabling, empowering and encouraging people with mental health difficulties to recognise their emotional needs.

• Facilitating groups and activities that encourage mutual social support and shared learning.

• Supporting self-empowerment and facilitating user-led solutions to mental health issues.

• Providing a non-judgmental space for members to feel valued for who they are.
