Blackthorn Trust is a registered charity which runs a Health and Community Hub providing holistic, life enhancing opportunities for people with mental health conditions.
We offer specialist therapies and a range of workshops within our tranquil grounds in Maidstone that provide a social-therapeutic environment where people can recover through nurture, healing and growth.
The Blackthorn Trust site includes a large garden, café, charity shop, plant nursery (open to the public 10am to 3pm, Monday to Friday) alongside therapy rooms and workshops used by our mental health programme.
Our anthroposophical approach is that more than medication is required to affect positive change.
“To truly know the world, look deeply within your own being; to truly know yourself, take real interest in the world.”
Rudolf Steiner – philosopher, social reformer & founder of the principles that Blackthorn Trust is based upon
