Kaleidoscope
Kaleidoscope
Kaleidoscope is a user led service for those with mental health problems. It is set up in partnership with NHS Dumfries and Galloway and managed by NSF (Scotland).
We aim to provide a friendly, relaxed atmosphere, a range of activities and opportunities to make new friends with people in similar situations. We believe everyone has the right to live as full a life as possible.
