Stafford Centre

General information

Support in Mind Scotland works to improve the wellbeing and quality of life of people affected by serious mental illness. This includes those who are family members, carers and supporters.

We seek to support and empower all those affected by mental illness.

The Stafford Centre is a community resource for people with mental health problems living in the Edinburgh area. Our aim is to help people to manage their mental health, gain greater self confidence and become more integrated within the community.

The centre operates as a Drop-In where people can enjoy the company of others in a relaxed, friendly and safe environment and begin to build supportive networks. We have a Snack Bar which serves home-made soup, lunches and a variety of snacks, tea, coffee etc., all at reasonable prices.

We run a range of recreational and support Groups which aim to meet the needs and interests of centre users. Some groups are about enjoying Art, Music, Drama and Woodwork. Others are about going out to visit places, taking part in sporting activities or sharing stories and exploring issues in the Recovery Group.
