RTProjects

We are a grassroots charity based in Durham, working to prevent suicide and support people experiencing mental health difficulties. We offer free, creative, non-clinical support to people who are often excluded from traditional services – including those affected by poverty, trauma, isolation, and stigma. Through regular group sessions, one-to-one support, and community events, we help people feel valued, connected, and empowered! RTProjects fills a vital gap in local mental health provision, offering a safe, welcoming space where people can express themselves, build resilience, and find hope.
