Guideposts Trust

We are Guideposts. We are a UK-based charity working with people in local communities to help them access the support, opportunities and skills they need to overcome social inequalities, improve their wellbeing and change their lives. “Guideposts is a people centred charity, we care passionately about the communities we serve. We exist to ensure that people can be connected to their community and feel part of society.” – Kathryn Courtenay-Evans, CEO

We run a range of services that are focused on helping people to achieve their potential regardless of their circumstances. We connect people together so that they can experience the joy that comes from friendship, activity, learning, purpose and occupation. We love what we do and we love seeing people flourish. The charitable funding we receive helps us to run crucial services, such as:

Guideposts Hubs

Our Hubs work with people with complex needs on a weekly basis, over a long time period. We currently operate 6 different hubs focused on supporting those with learning disabilities, mental health problems and dementia.

CONNECT Groups

We run local group sessions which help people connect with their communities. These sessions bring people together into a fun and friendly environment that leaves them feeling supported, part of their community and less isolated.

1:1 and Coaching

Our 1:1 befriending and coaching services support people at home and over the phone with complex emotional needs and isolation.
