Pip Cavilla, the founder of the hub, said: "We know from the data we collect and the conversations we have with our clients before, during, and after their support that approximately 95 per cent of them report an improvement in their mental health and wellbeing.

"Whilst we mainly work with people on a one-to-one basis, the impact of the work we do has a ripple effect on those who are connected to them."

The hub, now in its fourth year, is a not-for-profit organisation that supports children, young people, and adults with their mental health and wellbeing.

It has become a recognised place for partner agencies and referrers to direct individuals needing support.

The hub has shared examples of its work with Platform customers.

One customer, who had a history of poor mental health, reported feeling more able to be consistent in his approach to everyday issues after 12 sessions.

His child's school attendance, which was initially poor, significantly improved and remains stable.

Another customer, who was very depressed, is now looking for a place at college to gain additional skills and qualifications to help her return to work.

The hub also supported a very vulnerable customer with a history of poor mental health due to significant childhood trauma.

The man, who had considered ending his own life before receiving support from the hub, no longer feels this way.

Chris Pinson-Bradley, community engagement manager at Platform, said: "We have a well-established relationship with Droitwich Wellbeing Hub, particularly as it is located within an area where many of our customers live.

"It is truly heartwarming to hear how effective the hub is in its local community and we will continue to support them in any way we can."

The hub has seen an increase in demand for its services and the complexity of the referrals it receives.
