Supporting Service Users
Bromley Mind works to make a positive impact on the lives of residents of the borough with mental health needs, empowering its service users through the provision of activities and facilities that help to:
- Develop social confidence, mutual support and a positive role in the community.
Open doors to fulfilling activity at work and leisure. - Develop skills and access support to live as independently as possible.
- Enable individuals to achieve personal growth and develop skills to manage and improve their own mental health.
- Support carers and enrich the quality of life of people suffering from dementia.

Supporting Service Development
The Mainstream project enables clients who have been socially excluded to reclaim their rightful place back in the mainstream of society. It is staffed by Bridge Builders who have a background, and specialist expertise, in a number of Life Domains that clients can choose to access. These are:
- Employment
- Volunteering
- Education & Training
- Healthy Living
- Sports and Leisure
- Arts
- Cultural Communities
- Faith and Spirituality
- Homes, Families and Neighbourhoods.
Mainstream has a national reputation for excellence. It has been cited by the government's Social Exclusion Unit as a model of good practise.
The National Institute For Mental Health (England) co-ordinated the overall delivery of the Mental Health and Social Exclusion report and brought together individuals and organisations from a range of backgrounds and social inclusion expertise.
The national social inclusion programme team had cross-government representation as well as voluntary sector, service user, mental health professionals, and cross programme membership.
NSIP ceased operation on 31st March 2009 but the website continues to function, and is now managed by the Inclusion Institute at the Internationl School for Community Rights at the University of Central Lancashire.

As our name suggests, promoting community inclusion is at the heart of everything that the NDTi does. We believe that the health and social care system has an important role in supporting disabled and older people to live full lives. However, such services can also unintentionally create barriers to people living full lives. Traditional services are not necessarily best placed to support people achieve important things like paid work, proper housing, leisure activities and fulfilling relationships.
Our Community Inclusion programme is focused on:
- Supporting traditional services to be more outward looking and community focused in how they work
- Supporting our communities to be more welcoming towards people they have traditionally excluded
