SUCH: Holistic Care for All
The beneficial effects of Complementary and Holistic therapies, particularly in the treatment of mental distress, is now widely acknowledged.  In 2002, Taunton based Maggi Rowan made it her mission to see that these therapies became available to as many people as possible, regardless of their ability to pay.  Funding came after Maggi's project called SUCH (Service Users Complementary Holistic) won a MIND Millennium Award.

What can I expect?
Trained volunteers called Holistic Helpers assist Maggi in running the Project, by welcoming people and serving juices, herbal tea and plenty of tender loving care.

A consultation precedes every treatment to establish the specific requirements of the individual and to help plan which treatments will be the most useful.

Funding and projects
The SUCH Project is a charity. It is funded with grants and donations.  Individual treatments are offered at low cost, and donations are requested from those who can afford them.  Each client is asked to give a donation of between £2 and £5 to help ensure the future of the project.

Those benefiting from the SUCH Project from its beginnings in 2002 to March 2008 number 1,537 people, 1,016 of whom are clients receiving therapy. Presentations of our work and workshops have been given to a number of community groups across the county.

In 2008 the SUCH Project was awarded a 3-year grant to provide therapies in the Acute Unit in Taunton, and is also funded to work in the Forensic Unit. We are now applying for a grant from the Big Lottery to further our current work, and to carry out more outreach work. Future project work includes working in Wells Hospital.

If you would like to support our work by making a donation, please contact us.
