⚡ Fairwinds is 8 years old this September.
In 2018, Fairwinds began as a small charity-funded pilot providing mental health and wellbeing support to Newlyn fishermen.
Eight years later, it has grown into a much wider rural and coastal outreach model.
Over time, the service has developed in response to what we have learned from the communities we work alongside. Outreach became an increasing part of Fairwinds from 2021, taking support beyond traditional service settings and into the places where people live and work.
Our reach has since grown across fishing and farming communities, from Newlyn to Port Isaac and beyond, working alongside NHS services, GPs, charities, industry organisations, community groups and local partners.
The photographs tell part of that story, from the early days in Newlyn, through community outreach and farming events, to the wider partnership work Fairwinds is involved in today.
We are incredibly proud of how Fairwinds has developed over the past eight years, and especially grateful to the people, communities and organisations who have trusted us, worked alongside us and helped shape what the service has become today.
Eight years feels like a good moment to recognise just how far we have come.
Thank you to everyone who has been part of the journey so far.
Fairwinds Team 🙏⚡
