About Us

WATCH is a Community Interest Company (CIC). This means that everything we do must be for the benefit of the community. At WATCH, our focus is on creating an environment to allow our members to reach their potential in their own way. We are organised as a co-operative meaning that anyone who does benefit in this way has a right to become a member and all members, and only members, run WATCH democratically.  

WATCH was founded in 2010 by members of the Chard Intentional Peer Support Group and continues to be built around the lived experience of members to help them form sound peer friendships which extend in their local area and the wider community. 

“I know in my heart that I made lifetime friendships, without Watch and all of those involved I would still be in a dark place” – Sarah L (member of watch)
