Peace. Hope. Freedom.
We envision a future in which the Church is trusted and equipped to ensure every young person and has the opportunity to find peace, hope and freedom from mental health struggles.
Our mission is to enable churches to become trusted partners in addressing gaps in young people’s mental health provision by working at the intersection of faith, community and professional practice.
We are doing this through our strategic programmes:
THE PILLAR SPACES
Safe, relational spaces in local churches where young people can access early, evidence-informed mental health support that complements professional care.
THE PILLAR SUPPORT
Equipping churches with the training, consultancy, frameworks, and resources needed to respond confidently and safely to young people’s mental health needs
THE PILLAR SERIES
Structured teaching and reflective resources that help churches build a healthy, informed culture around mental health.
THE PILLAR STUDY
Research, evaluation, and learning that ensure our work is credible, evidence-informed, and continually improving.
THE PILLAR SHARE
Sharing learning, insight, and best practice to strengthen collaboration between churches and the wider mental health system.

Our Team
At The Pillar we believe that how we do things is just as important as what we do. Our values are the driving force behind everything we do including the decisions we make, the actions we take and the way that we treat everyone we meet.
Ephesians 5 - ‘Be very careful how you live.’
OUR VALUES
OUR APPROACHES
We want The Pillar to look & feel like a real pillar for everyone who is part of it. Because of this our approach and interventions are based around the purpose and structure of a pillar.
