Ashes to Gold is a Coleraine-based charity supporting people to improve their mental health and wellbeing. We provide counselling and addiction support alongside practical, creative and outdoor programmes, including gardening, woodcraft, fishing and peer support. Our services create welcoming opportunities for people to build confidence, develop skills, connect with others and find a renewed sense of purpose.
At Ashes to Gold, we believe that everyone should have the opportunity to feel supported, valued and connected.
Our counselling and addiction support services provide support for people experiencing mental health difficulties, trauma, addiction and challenging circumstances. We aim to meet people where they are and provide a safe, welcoming environment to help them move forward.
But support does not always have to happen in a counselling room.
Across our projects, we provide a wide range of practical, creative, social and outdoor activities designed to improve wellbeing and bring people together. These include gardening and growing at The Grow Project, fishing and outdoor activities at Moorbrook, woodcraft and DIY through The Workshop. We also offer creative courses, peer support groups and programmes specifically designed for women and those who have served in the Armed Forces.
Our approach focuses on the whole person. Activities provide opportunities to build confidence, learn new skills, develop friendships and rediscover a sense of purpose. Sometimes simply having somewhere welcoming to go, something meaningful to do and people to connect with can make a real difference.
We work with people from a wide range of backgrounds and circumstances. Some may be struggling with their mental health or addiction, experiencing isolation or unemployment, recovering from trauma, or simply looking for connection and an opportunity to improve their wellbeing.
At the heart of everything we do is community, connection and hope. Whether someone comes to us for professional support, joins a course, spends time outdoors or simply has a cup of tea and a chat, our aim is to create an environment where people feel welcome and supported.
