Pathways Project

Helping you build confidence, skills, and a brighter future.

At Myrtle House, we believe in walking alongside people—not just providing short-term support, but helping them grow in confidence, ability, and hope. Our Pathways Project is here for anyone looking to rebuild, refocus, or simply learn something new.

Whether you're coming out of a difficult season, struggling to find direction, or wanting to become more independent, we offer opportunities that are welcoming, practical, and life-giving. There’s no pressure to be perfect—just an open door and a team ready to help you take your next step.

From cooking and nutrition workshops, creative arts & craft sessions, and budgeting help, to employment support and wellbeing groups, we create space for you to develop real, everyday skills. But more than that, we help you rediscover your confidence, your purpose, and your place in community.

And one of the most powerful ways to grow is to give back. That’s why we also invite people to get involved through volunteering. Whether it’s in our Community Table, Foodbank, Friendship Centre, Day Nursery, or coffee shop, volunteering at Myrtle House offers hands-on experience, connection with others, and the chance to make a real difference while gaining valuable skills.

At Myrtle House, learning isn’t confined to a classroom. It happens through conversations, shared meals, new challenges, and encouraging others along the way.

Because life is better when we grow together—and no one should have to do it alone.
