Looking to build on his own experiences from early adulthood, Charity Director Lee Pennington, founded the Birkenhead-based Open Door Charity, to provide free, fast and effective mental health support at the point it was needed most.
Designed for young people by young people, this dynamic and progressive organisation continues to deliver a range of award-winning services using innovation, arts, and culture as a catalyst for change, over a decade on.
“Today my role at Open Door Charity is Executive Assistant to the Senior Leadership Team,” says Niall Miller. “But I first became involved four years ago when I was referred to their programme.
“At the time I was struggling with both depression and anxiety, seeking alternative support when I was given a long waiting list by traditional services. I instantly felt at home in the welcoming environment here and, thanks to the staff and my peer mentor, as well as the range of creative therapeutic care provided, my wellbeing significantly improved,” he adds.
Niall continues, “At Open Door Charity all our support options are delivered by a team of around 100 peer mentors – and we believe that having an organisation built on lived experience not only ensures that the support process is wholly unique, but provides a positive route towards not just feeling better now, but staying better for the long term.”
Kindred has been a firm supporter of Open Door Charity and its invaluable care provision since the outset. And, as one of the first organisations Kindred invested in, the money received was used to roll out a pilot for what would become its ‘Bazaar’ referral programme.
“Our core offer, the Bazaar programme, has been a huge success,” Niall says. “Designed to tackle low mood and anxiety, it’s an eight-week hour-long computerised therapeutic course, delivered face-to-face by volunteer peer mentors. Blending elements of CBT, mindfulness and more, to help people aged 17-35 understand their subconscious thought patterns, it provides the skills, tools and techniques a young person needs to take control of the pressures everyday life puts on us in these modern times.
“With this initial money from Kindred, the pilot not only involved organisations across Liverpool City Region, but also the likes of Oxford and Northumbria Universities, ensuring that what was developed was tailored to different audiences, whilst also addressing the huge need for creative mental health support across the country,” he adds.
“Also, in November last year we received support from Kindred in the form of a cost-of-living grant, which, in these difficult times, has helped us maintain consistent programming at our Bloom Building home, ensuring both creative activities and cultural events could continue running alongside our essential support services.”
With plans to provide the Bazaar programme on a national level, as well as extra support needed locally, Open Door Charity is always on the lookout for more peer mentor volunteers, and has a number of fundraising events coming up Kindred members can support.

When St Helens became a settlement town for Syrian refugees back in 2019 the passion and perseverance of one local lady would go on to create a community cafe as unique as its customers.
“At the time Debra Hill was one of the first English for speakers of other languages (ESOL) tutors working at St Helens Council,” says Emma Bamber, the current Project Manager at Café Laziz. “Before this the town had been predominately white, and Deb realised that as well as teaching them English, the refugees needed more; more opportunities to share their culture, more ways to gain work experience and more ways to meet people from the community. And so Cafe Laziz was born.”
Very sadly, Deb was diagnosed with cancer in 2021 so turned to her colleagues about taking over. “Cafe Laziz is a fast-growing project and needed full-time focus so myself, and another colleague, Claire Nicholls came on board last summer,” Emma adds.
Initially just an Arabic cafe, today Café Laziz supports refugees from all over the world. “We give people a place to come to, to get out of their hotel room, to learn English, to meet new people, to eat food from different cultures and to generally provide a safe, welcoming, warm place for them to be,” says Emma.
Aiming to break down barriers between their volunteers and the general public, Café Laziz hopes that through their food they can educate and inform people who may otherwise have negative opinions of refugees and asylum seekers through what they hear on the news.
“Our dishes reference a different country each week, so there could be an El Salvadorean main and a Hungarian dessert one week, a Pakistani main and a Sudanese dessert the next.” Emma continues, “The benefit of having multicultural volunteers is that the only common language is English, so everyone has to speak English. It's great to hear the laughter coming from the kitchen as they all share and cook together.”
“One of Kindred's first investees, Café Laziz has received a great deal of support, financial and otherwise without which I am not sure Deb would have been able to get it off the ground,” says Emma.
Adding, “We continue to feel incredibly supported, and the hands-on help Claire and I received when we took over allowed us to spend much needed time planning what we wanted the project to become and really develop what we do.”
With a dream to one day have their own dedicated building in St Helens, and a wide range of educational outreach events and projects planned, Emma concludes, “One of the best things I have found about Kindred is that when you are working away at the coal face every day it is easy to feel that you are in it alone. But, thanks to the network of like-minded STOs from around the region you’re put into contact with, you know you are part of something so much bigger, and it’s incredibly empowering to know that positive things are happening.”

What was formerly a decommissioned council building in the heart of Huyton will become a dedicated centre supporting those experiencing dementia thanks to Kindred member, Me2U.
Founded by Rosie Whittington, Me2U has been providing a pioneering approach to community-based care in Kirkby since 2018. With every facility and activity specifically designed with individual needs in mind, it quickly become obvious that a second centre was much needed.
A mental health nurse with over ten years of experience working with older people, Rosie had previously been a teenage carer for her grandmother. “At Me2U we provide a safe and stimulating environment for those living with dementia, as well as offering respite and peace of mind for their carers and loved ones,” says Rosie.
“With over half of UK adults knowing someone who has been diagnosed with dementia, and the cost of caring for them expected to almost double by 2050, we want to be able to reach more people who need services like ours.”
While Rosie remortgaged her own home to set up her first centre, this time the Me2U team worked with Knowsley Metropolitan Borough Council to secure an asset transfer, and organised a crowdfunding campaign as well as a series of fundraising events, to raise the £30,000 needed to fund the required renovations.
Backed by Kindred, the new site will provide a range of services, including an onsite hairdresser or barber, a community wash house, private consultation rooms for health visitors and a wet room. They will also offer a wide range of activities including gardening and flower arranging, art and crafts, board games and singalongs.
Carers will also be able to take advantage of holistic therapy sessions and support groups as well as expert advice on dementia care and diagnoses.
“Kindred invests in people who have lived stories and go on to use their lived experience to change their world. When I first heard Me2U’s founder Rosie tell her story I had no doubt this was an investment Kindred would want to make,” says Erika Rushton, Programme Director at Kindred.
Adding, “Rosie is just one of a powerful network of women in Knowsley who are redesigning our care system from the bottom up. And their design principles? Their care is designed for the people we love."
“We’re so happy to be able to expand our provision into another part of Knowsley,” says Rosie. “By getting the foundations right and establishing a person-centred culture, we can deliver even more essential care services that benefit the communities we support.”

After almost two decades working in the hair and makeup industry herself, Victoria Farrelly now passes on her skills to a new generation of beauty professionals.
“I was 13 years old when I started working alongside my mum,” says Victoria. “At the time she was a hairdresser and makeup artist on a Ridley Scott film and as soon as I arrived on set in sunny Cape Town, I fell in love with the film industry.”
In the years that followed Victoria worked on music videos with the likes of Robbie Williams and Texas, and commercials for leading global fashion brands. But it was in 2016 after working for seven years as a Lead Media Makeup Teacher at an Ofsted Grade 1 College, and on the completion of her Diploma in Teaching, that she decided to take a leap and created the Global Makeup Hair and Productions Academy (GMUA).
Now CEO, Victoria, along with her growing team of tutors, stylists, and experts, offers an alternative route into education for anyone over the age of 13; including high-quality, flexible, and accessible courses in a wide range of subjects like hairdressing and barbering, makeup, modelling and fashion, media, film and photography.
“The heartbeat of GMUA lies in the desire to give everyone an opportunity to be self-employed in a creative industry they love,” says Victoria. “Alongside our on-site training all our students also complete placements giving them invaluable business experience and entrepreneurial guidance.”
First introduced to Kindred in 2020, Victoria applied for funding towards the cost of employing someone to support her in the day-to-day running of GMUA freeing her time to focus on developing and delivering the courses that mean so much to her.
“Thanks to Kindred's support GMUA has grown 300% financially over the past two years, which in turn has allowed us to reach even more aspiring young talent across the Liverpool City Region,” says Victoria. “What we do extends way beyond traditional training. We have become a beacon of hope and transformation, a place where long-held dreams become a reality.”
By actively engaging with a variety of stakeholders, including local authorities, care workers, and NEETs agencies to identify individuals on the cusp of decision-making GMUA tailor their mentorship programs and vocational courses to create opportunities for all.
“So far, we have been able to support a number of women who have fled domestic abuse as well as women asylum-seekers and refugees. We are also currently training eight students to teach further courses for us and are in the process of creating a working salon in Liverpool to enable our graduates to make a good living and get the support they need to start their own businesses in the future.”
Victoria concludes, “Afterall, it's about creating a ripple effect of positivity, raising aspirations and empowering others to achieve great things with no barriers or boundaries.”

After looking for a new direction and greater satisfaction in her own life, Jill Barlow, founder of Jigsaw Coaching CIC, now helps others to reach their full potential too.
“Throughout my career I’d always managed projects aimed at improving health,” says Jill. “But whether this was in a business, a charity or an educational setting, there was always one theme I kept coming back to; how where we work and what we do plays a crucial part in this.”
Fascinated by how some people thrive on challenge and variety; while others prefer a routine, repetitive job they can switch off from, the one thing clear to Jill is how hard it was for people to get the support they needed.
Whether dealing with dissatisfaction, discrimination, or the daily juggle of achieving a happy and healthy work-life balance, Jill wanted to do more. So, in 2017 she went on to qualify as a coach before setting up her own social enterprise, Jigsaw Coaching CIC.
“It was while working for the NHS that I realised I wasn’t utilising my skills, and my confidence was ebbing away,” says Jill. “Yes, it was great having a secure job, but I knew I’d find more fulfilment helping people who were feeling lost or dissatisfied to get connected to what matters to them – whether at work or in their home life.”
Jigsaw specialises in supporting people who wouldn’t normally be able to access coaching services. Its vision is to create a world where the journey of self-discovery and growth are accessible to everyone.
“Through our one-to-one sessions and workshops, we inspire people to explore their inner hopes and ambitions, helping them to create a vision of a better future for themselves,” Jill says. “In a safe, confidential space, people can identify their strengths and harness them to address blocks in the way and what they can do to lead more fulfilling lives.”
Working across the Liverpool City Region and beyond, Jill and her fellow associates’ approach is multi-faceted and, now with the support of Kindred, are reaching even more people.
“I first heard about Kindred through a local network and since becoming a member have met so many incredible like-minded people working in social enterprises,” says Jill. “Thanks to Kindred’s investment we’ve been able to focus in on the areas that are most important to us, such as supporting small business owners, people who are long-term unemployed, have a health condition, a disability or a visual impairment (VIs).”
With a new Jigsaw website due to launch in early 2024, we’re sure that more people will benefit from the services offered by this life-changing company.

Founded by one man’s passion for improving his community, and now managed by a team of dedicated staff and volunteers in his memory, The Book Stop is bringing hope back to its high street.
Like many places across the Liverpool City Region, St Helens has seen its town centre change dramatically over the last ten years. But, when its only independent and much-loved bookshop announced its closure back in 2019 after nearly 40 years of trading, it inspired one local man to bring back the books.
“Brian Leyland was the driving force behind The Book Stop,” says Trustee, Mike Webster. “His love of St Helens, its people - and of course its rugby team - played a major part in his life. As a published author himself, he was frustrated by the lack of a book shop in the town centre, so took on the challenge of leading a crowdfunding campaign that saw the community raise a staggering £45,000 backing the business.”
“The funds raised locally were then matched by the Community Shares Booster Programme and added to even further thanks to the Steve Morgan Foundation,” continues Mike. “This allowed us, with assistance from St Helens Council, to invest in a prominent but vacant unit on Bridge Street and enabled us to open for business in November 2021 before Brian sadly passed away the following February.”
The loss of Brian, the Covid pandemic and then the cost-of-living crisis that followed has not made life easy for The Book Stop, which is run as a charitable community benefit society. But it has not stopped it honouring its commitment to creating a socially inclusive and welcoming environment for the residents of St Helens and the surrounding areas.
Stocking 5,000 titles (and able to order in most books within 24 hours for their customers, whether that’s an individual, school or library), The Book Stop also runs a wide range of events. Its adult and children’s reading groups, book clubs and author signings are all aimed at improving access to books and enhancing reading and literacy opportunities in the town.
“Our bookshop is owned by the community, and most importantly exists for the benefit of the community,” says manager, Nik Lowe. “Any profits we make are always reinvested back into new books, events and workshops everyone can enjoy.”
An integral part of continuing to develop this much-needed outreach work has been Kindred’s support. This investment is now enabling this unique bookshop to transform its empty first floor into a new fully accessible events space.
Nik concludes, “We recently won the National Book Tokens ‘Newcomer of the Year’ award which we couldn't have achieved without the generosity of everyone who has supported us this far. Now, thanks to Kindred, we can continue sharing the magic of reading and the power of books with even more members of our valued community.”
With work due to start in February 2024, we look forward to sharing more about the exciting opportunities local families, school children, charities and organisations can experience and benefit from at The Book Stop.

Two friends in Bootle shared a passion for people and their community. Janet Hughes – with her green thumb and background in horticulture – and Ali Horton with experience in youth work and operations, came together to bring about a purposeful social enterprise for their community. Their combined skill and passion founded the Gateway Collective, based in North Park Community Garden.
The Gateway Collective uses community gardening to promote wellbeing and social connections, driven by the principle of ‘love your neighbour’, a part of Janet and Ali’s Christian faith. The garden is open to volunteers and gardeners of all and no faiths, and harvest shares are distributed to attendees as part of the community’s lasting connection. It’s also one of Kindred’s second round of investee STOs.
Janet and Ali’s vision is to see people and communities in Bootle thrive, with a mission to cultivate belonging and community around fresh local produce and personal wellbeing.
The Gateway Collective’s vibrant and diverse community activity range includes, but isn’t limited to, plant and craft sales, creative workshops, beekeeping, voluntary leadership opportunities and chances for the community to cook and eat together, sharing food and recipes inspired by the produce grown in the garden. Activities are designed to increase individuals’ wellbeing and build community.
The Gateway Collective used the Social Audit Network process to measure their impact on their community. They collected data from interviews, case studies, and focus groups to provide narrative and economic measures, consider materiality and ensure credibility in a competitive marketplace. And those impacts are huge:
• Social value totalling £434,520, creating £7.34 for every £1 spent
• 1040 visits to the garden in 2021-22
• 4,100 volunteer hours, with the garden’s 79 community gardeners
• 540kg of food was grown…
• … saving 430kg CO2e, in comparison to buying from a supermarket
• The Gateway Collective also won the Green Flag Community Award
This was achieved through gatherings at North Park Community Garden, where the Gateway Collective is open Mondays and Wednesdays between 10am-2pm, all year round. During the Summer, an extra Thursday session is added each week.
The garden is central to Gateway Collective's work and these weekly gatherings for gardeners and volunteers provide a sanctuary, laughter and good food. The benefits to their physical and mental wellbeing are impactful and attendees shared in the 2021-22 social impact report that they feel welcome and supported. For many, social isolation and loneliness were heavy after the pandemic, and so the garden serves as a lifeline for many attendees. The garden serves as a place of learning, support, and connection, making it a vital part of Gateway Collective’s community.
Ali says: “The investment from Kindred has been transformational. It has enabled us to complete our community kitchen which has become a space to teach people how to cook with what we grow but more importantly a space to gather. Kindred has also enabled us to change our thinking around social investment – to see it as an opportunity for growth and not something to be scared of.”
The impact report also shares personal stories from community members like Joe, who returned to the UK after a long time abroad. He joined the community garden after discovering its residents working there. This experience led to a newfound interest in gardening, a sense of belonging to nature, and new opportunities – including a job. By learning about proper soil preparation, planting techniques and plant care, Joe started work in the council’s Green Sefton department.
Another testimony is from Paul, who left mainstream schooling due to anxiety and began attending the garden weekly in 2015, as part of his homeschooling. He found lots of support and care at the Gateway Collective and its community, which helped his mental health. Then in 2020, he participated in a Kickstart project with Andrea Ku, focusing on creating ‘Made in Bootle’, which helped him develop employability skills and apply for part-time jobs. For Paul, the impact of The Gateway Collective on his life has been profound.
Other volunteers describe the garden as their “little oasis”, “extended family”, and a supportive place where they “can just sit and have a brew and a chat with somebody”, or “take a break when going through a rough patch but when returning be immediately welcomed back.”
Gateway Collective has successfully established community connections, collaborating with groups like Taking Roots and the South Park Garden and fostering pride in the local community. Most volunteers at the garden also volunteer elsewhere, widening their community's impact. The principle of ‘love thy neighbour’ certainly thrives here.
Melodic Distraction first hit the airwaves when it began broadcasting live from the heart of Liverpool in 2017. With over 150 monthly shows, the Fabric District-based internet radio station showcases DJs, musicians, party throwers, festival organisers and many more involved in the local music scene – and beyond.
Part of Kindred’s second cohort of socially-trading businesses, the non-stop radio station aims to be free to tune into, anytime, anyplace. It also offers various opportunities for local musicians to break into the traditionally hard-to-access industry, all from a studio and venue space made from recycled shipping containers.
The total value of Melodic Distraction’s social impact has reached over £1.8m. From turning a disused bin alley into a free-to-access cultural and community space to its artistic investment, workshops and placement opportunities, Melodic Distraction’s unique approach is championing North West sound and changing the industry.
With the artistic spend of over £46,000 for 2022-23 projected to increase 55% in the next year with Kindred’s support, Melodic has created paid opportunities to allow locals in the music scene to dedicate more time to performing – something that’s been linked to a range of mental health benefits. These opportunities are available for a variety of creatives from musicians to freelance sound and lighting engineers, and include paid gigs at local venues and performances at branded events, as well as performances at the station’s own venue, the Melodic Bar, which has welcomed over almost 12,000 music lovers since August 2021.
Melodic is also paving new ways for aspiring DJs and radio broadcasters to break into the industry. Since its beginnings, the station’s free workshops have provided £24,244 worth of training on equipment that’s financially inaccessible to many. The workshops include DJing, radio broadcasting and radio production and Melodic Distraction is aiming to reach new, underrepresented audiences through a 50% annual increase in workshop offerings over the next three years.
Many who have attended the workshops so far have gone on to receive paid work DJing and presenting radio around the UK: “Learning to DJ at Melodic Distraction’s DJ Workshops for Women helped me pursue a long-time passion,” says one attendee. “I’ve since DJ’d at two events in Liverpool and Manchester.”
Melodic Distraction also provides opportunities to help young adults who face barriers to employment. Since beginning work with schemes such as Kickstart in 2018, the station has provided over £20,000 in social value from taking two young adults out of long-term unemployment, and delivered £4,261 in training for studio producer staff, which has been given to nine young adults on placement through the schemes.
“I joined Melodic Distraction on the ILM Scheme in 2019 after being unemployed for four months,” says one staff member. “My placement was for six months and I was offered a full-time role after finishing. It’s my first job in music and I’ve learned loads of different skills and met so many musically-minded people like myself from working here.”
James Zaremba, one of Melodic’s co-founders, says: “We’re so grateful to Kindred for supporting us in our mission to showcase as much of Liverpool’s fantastic music scene as we can through Melodic Distraction. We deeply believe that Liverpool and the north west is awash with incredible talent and if we can play even a small part in highlighting and supporting that then we’re happy! Working with Kindred helped us realise our impact and focus on our social mission with a greater focus than ever before.”
CV writing and upskilling workshops are also offered to those on placement, supporting them to go on to find jobs in the industry. The station is aiming to work with two new young adults facing barriers to employment every six months, teaching them practical audio production skills and giving them real world working experience in radio broadcasting.
Alongside these impacts, Melodic Distraction has a lot of big plans on the horizon. A seasonally robust events offer, accessible studio space, and a greater budget for discounted live-streaming will be on offer for music lovers and aspiring artists or broadcasters alike. If you’re ready to get your music fix, find out more about Melodic Distraction and tune in, or head on down to the Melodic Bar where there’s coffee, cocktails, and free music events for all.
Get a feel for Melodic’s approach with this new documentary, which captures the journey of running a live radio station from the middle of one of the UK’s most respected electronic music festivals, where the team delivered more than 50 hours of broadcasting across four days.

Foundation School of Martial Arts is a community that uses movement, and elements of Japanese culture and values as tools to help build resilient and confident people in Liverpool City Region.
The classes and programmes that it runs are rich in variety; from ninjitsu, traditional weapon training, sparring, to calligraphy and taiko drumming. Founder Simon Melhuish emphasises that a class of 30 kids will all have different needs and it is the job of the club not only accommodate every student, but help them to thrive.
Social value has underpinned the foundation’s work from the beginning, first with children and young people on the Barnardo’s Young Carers Programme, running camps and activities which focus on giving its recipients respite and growing their sense of self. It has since worked with Advanced Solutions, which focuses on empowering neurodivergent children, and runs workshops in schools and for the NHS, promoting stress management, mindfulness and empowerment.
Simon says ‘a lot of the parents come to classes wanting to make their kids tougher and more disciplined, but the kids come out with unexpected assets; sense of self, social skills, resilience and trust’. He says that working with the parents in that process is an integral part of the work Foundation does, ‘it is often more the parents we’re teaching than the kids,’ he says. Parents must stay for sessions and, as a result, watch their kids grow, share their sense of achievement, resulting in strengthening familial bonds.
As a result, 90% of adults classes are populated with parents of children at the school, creating a community with a strong ethos of investment in nourishing relationships with themselves and each other, and in physical and mental wellbeing. The foundation boasts reams of positive feedback from whole families; all reflecting a sense of belonging, an increased sense of confidence, within a context that expands knowledge and respect of Japanese culture and tradition.
This sense of community is present in every aspect of its programmes and projects; many of the kids go on to become junior instructors. They gain valuable experience which sets them up for later in life but, beyond their skills, they are wonderful ‘as individuals; confident and compassionate, with a genuine concern for others’, Simon says proudly, ‘and those who go on to become instructors are the best we have – they get more gifts at Christmas time than I do!’
The goal of Foundation School of Martial Arts is simply to improve the lives of the people that it works with, through positive reinforcement and skills training. The growth of its students is organic, and looks different in every individual, young or old. The effect this can have on a child is enormous – from personal to educational settings. The lack of positive reinforcement at home or at school can so often leave people behind, when all that was needed was a change in tactics to let them thrive.

iWoman Academy is a community interest company that uses radio as a wellbeing tool to empower women who are out of work and give them tools to move forward in their career. CEO Ngunan Adamu says, 'losing your job is not the end of your story, it is an exciting new start, but you need the confidence to make it happen.' This is where iWoman academy comes in.
iWoman Academy is a 12-week course. In the first project the participants create a music show as a 'soft way' into them finding their voice, Ngunan explains. "We've had everything from soft rock to RnB to Arabic pop music, Polish soundtracks, music scores, musicals - it's been amazing." And where the music show gives them a chance to celebrate individuality, the next part of the course reinforces the opposite. They research into health, a topic which highlights their shared experience as women, wherever in the world they are from; whatever their experiences. And they learn to research critically, as a journalist would.
“I realised research is so important, especially when you're not in a nice situation; you can Google the wrong information and panic yourself over things,” says Ngunan. The research aspect of the course gets them looking critically at sources; learning how to glean information that will empower them. There is also a holistic side to the course; they go through practical skills to find work, discuss what their barriers are (timekeeping, for example) and are given resources to overcome their challenges.
iWoman CEO Ngunan Adamu
Conversation between these women means that it becomes a community and they find a universality in their experience as women; whether they are survivors of domestic abuse, asylum seekers, trans women or claiming universal credit. "These are women that would never have met each other, they would never have been friends," but through the course they become just that, "a sisterhood [...] and there's always someone who makes cake!" Ngunan laughs.
Over lockdown, iWoman Academy went online and reached women on an international level; Nigeria, Kenya, Indonesia, Syria and the United Arab Emirates, to name but a few. This showed that iWoman "is needed," Ngunan reflects, and while "Liverpool will always be our base - it's got to be Liverpool! - going international is definitely the next step."
Ngunan is a producer and host with the BBC herself; but whenever she travels now "I've made such a fuss about iWoman that people know more about it than they do about my work in the BBC... and I love it!"
Participants complete the course with a newfound confidence and a set of skills; going to take on their careers once more, pursue degrees, or starting their own businesses. The course is all about bringing these women back into society. "They gain so much," says Ngunan, "in terms of confidence, in strength and voice - I hope they pay it forward. We're in a global battle at the moment, as women, and we definitely have to support each other." And iWoman certainly does that; a course run by women, for women, who will doubtless pay it forward in kind.
