Founded by Ruby Wax OBE, Frazzled Cafe provides a safe, confidential and non-judgemental space for people who are feeling frazzled and overwhelmed by their lives to connect and share their stories. Over 8 of every 10 people feel better after just one hour with us in our small peer support meetings.

Situation
We know that even before the pandemic, more people were struggling with their mental health than ever before, and accessing the support they needed could be a challenge. Frazzled Cafe provides a free, safe space where people can say when they are not "feeling ok" and be supported by others going through similar experiences. Our platform helps to alleviate loneliness and bring people together to support each other through peer-to-peer meetings, facilitated by our trained and empathic volunteers.
Solution
Frazzled Cafe hold free, online daily meetings and short mindfulness sessions which help to create an environment of acceptance and community. People struggling with their mental health and wellbeing can attend as frequently as one meeting per day to come and share how they are feeling in a safe, supportive environment, managed by our trained Facilitators. We know our model works - over 8 in 10 people report feeling better after just one meeting, and 99% would recommend us to their loved ones.
