About SRA
SRA
Southside Rehabilitation Association (SRA) empowers people living with Serious Mental Illness (SMI) in South East London who face profound social, digital, and health exclusion. Through person-centred support, innovative occupational rehabilitation and real work experience in our social enterprises, we provide pathways to recovery, independence, and well-being. Our mission is to restore purpose, promote inclusion, and improve the daily lives and prospects of those most challenged by SMI, led by and for the communities we serve.
​​
Established in 1991, we are a unique provider of specialist occupational rehabilitation for adults with serious mental illness (SMI). We support highly marginalised individuals who face severe social exclusion, long-term unemployment, and significant digital disadvantage.
​
We operate three supportive social enterprises, printing, catering, and cleaning, offering safe, purposeful, and productive work environments. Here, participants build skills, confidence, and daily routine at a pace matched to their mental health needs.
Our rehabilitation programmes integrate practical work experience with essential digital technology training and life skills, enabling participants to access online services, connect socially, and manage daily living more independently.
Working closely with NHS trusts, local authorities, and voluntary organisations, we provide holistic support for around 100 Service Users each year, the majority from ethnic minority and disadvantaged backgrounds.
Our core objective is to enable people with SMI, often excluded from the world of work, to engage in valued, purposeful roles, improve digital skills, enhance wellbeing, and achieve a fuller quality of life within their community.
