About us
Our Vision
Replenish UK aims to provide support to those in the community suffering or at risk of suffering from mental health problems and addictions.
This will be done by the provision of pastoral care, befriending, recovery groups, healing events and through networking with local church and faith organisations to provide ongoing support, a help towards recovery, replenishment and restoration.
Our aim is to provide a range of services delivering friendships, recovery groups and pastoral care.
We also offer training and support for churches on mental health awareness. We want to equip the church to understand mental health disorders and addictions, supportive recovery and the role of the church.
