ALF CIC

Supporting Healthy
& Sustainable Communities

ALF is a peer led, grassroots, community organisation that supports those struggling with emotional distress caused by trauma/PTSD, life stress, or ill health, to recover; find purposeful occupation; and become thriving members of their local communities.

We prioritise support for those working in frontline health; emergency services; and those with chronic health challenges & disabilities, also offering support and guidance to those facilitating peer support groups.

ALF can facilitate peer support groups across a range of specialist areas & have done so for over a decade. We will be bringing these to Cornwall this year through out Purposeful Peer Support Initiative.
We also advise & support already existing groups who need some guidance, training, support, or supervision
