Who We Are
Established in 2016 as a not-for-profit social enterprise, The Hummingbird Project has been raising the standard in accountable, change making solutions in the mental health sector through education, information provision and therapeutic treatment in one-to-one, group, in-person and online settings. Partnership working and community collaboration is at the heart of everything we do.
Our Team
At The Hummingbird Project and as mental health professionals, we are unashamed to say we have all experienced mental ill health. In fact, we are proud of it; who we are, how far we have come and how we use our experiences to help others. Everyone at some point in their lives will be faced with difficult, sometimes life changing challenges.
It’s by speaking up about and sharing our own personal experiences, we hope to reduce stigma and give other people permission to talk about the issues affecting them. That’s why, in addition to giving you some detail about our professional background we are telling our stories as well.

Advisory Panel
An award-winning, impactful and innovative Social Enterprise deserves the advice and inspiration of a great advisory board. These outstanding people from across all sectors and various specialisms keep us focused, strategic and accountable.
Social Enterprise
The Hummingbird Project is an innovative Social Enterprise and has been set up as a Community Interest Company. That means we are not-for-profit AND have a social enterprise model. This enables us to support businesses and communities to invest in their people. Why not partner with us for early intervention and resilience support to prevent illness and difficulty in the future. All profits from our social enterprise sales model are invested straight back into our crisis and recovery programmes.
