Ghyllside

Ghyllside provide supported living in the community for people stepping down from The Willows Independent Hospital or other mental health services. We focus on developing life skills and rebuilding confidence, enabling everyone to progress into independent living at a pace that suits them.

Ghyllside provides support for up to four men. Most people living here have moved on from The Willows Independent Hospital, where their recovery has progressed to the point where they are ready to return to living in a community setting. However, both services can also accept direct referrals following assessment by the multi-disciplinary team.
