FitzRoy - Transforming Lives

10/10/2026

This year’s World Mental Health Day is about lived experience and making sure people’s voices lead to change.

At FitzRoy, that means listening properly to what matters to each person and supporting them to have more say over their own lives.

A huge thank you to Clanfield District Councillors for the grant towards the works at FitzRoy - Rural Skills - we are so proud of everything that Rural Skills members achieve in their beautiful oasis. Also, we have some very exciting news about Rural Skills and environmental programmes in Hampshire that we'll be sharing soon! 💚💚💚

John And Chris visited Fitzroy Rural Skills centre located in the Sustainability Centre, East Meon (and close to Clanfield). The centre supports adults with disabilities to develop skills and confidence, growing plants, woodworking, and more: we both enjoyed hearing about their work and talking to the staff and students there. Chris has provided councillor grant support to provide a new woodworking building for the centre.

When we first met Chelsea she was very quiet and would spend most of her time in her flat not wanting to socialise or get involved with the people around her. She was struggling with her mental health and found it difficult to trust others.

Now things look very different for Chelsea. The people around her say she's funny and caring and always the first one asking what people are up to, she loves getting out and about, helping out others and spending time with the people around her.

Meet Lula 🌟

Lula joined us when she was 18. A career in social care wasn't something she'd always planned but four years on, she's never looked back!

For Lula, a job she started at 18 has become a career she genuinely enjoys. And if you’re looking for a job where you can learn, build relationships, have a laugh and make a difference to someone’s everyday life, it could be the start of your story too.

A few years ago, anxiety could make it difficult for Linda to speak to anyone. Today, she co-chairs meetings, has presented to FitzRoy’s Trustees and helps hold the organisation to account.

By taking the time to get to know Linda, build trust and supporting her at her own pace, the team has helped her confidence flourish.

And Linda isn't stopping there - she's now working towards becoming a Quality Checker, using her lived experience to make a difference for other people.
