“Don’t be ashamed of your journey. It will inspire others.”

You’re not alone; talk to someone you trust. Sharing a problem is often the first step to recovery.

Fine and Dandi is a place where people can share their journey and how they cope with mental illness to show others that it’s okay to not be okay and that it is okay to talk about a problem without having to suffer in silence.

Fine and Dandi transitions to a Community Interest Company (C.I.C)

While things may have seemed quiet online we have undergone some changed behind the scenes.

Earlier this year we applied to change from a Limited by Guarantee to a C.I.C (Community Interest Company) and having gone through the process our application was approved. As such, we have changed our name from Fine and Dandi Limited to Fine and Dandi C.I.C.
