Our Mission.
REALNESS.
We value honesty over perfection.
THE PERCENTERS. was built on the belief that people should not have to hide parts of themselves to feel accepted, supported, or understood.
We encourage authenticity, openness, humour, vulnerability, creativity, and being human without pressure to perform.
CONNECTION.
We believe connection protects wellbeing.
Our groups, workshops, socials, walks, games sessions, and community spaces are designed to reduce isolation and help young adults feel part of something bigger than themselves.
Support does not always begin with a deep conversation. Sometimes it starts with simply turning up.
prevention.
People deserve support before they reach breaking point.
We focus on early support, wellbeing education, and reducing stigma so young adults can access spaces that help them feel supported before things escalate into crisis.
NATURAL.
Support should feel approachable.
We intentionally design our spaces to feel natural, non-clinical, welcoming, and easy to engage with, especially for young adults who are hesitant to access traditional support. There is no need to “have it all figured out.”
community.
Mental wellbeing should exist in everyday life, not only in crisis.
We believe communities, peer support, creativity, movement, conversation, education, and shared experiences all play an important role in helping people feel grounded and supported.
PURPOSE.
Every contribution matters.
The name THE PERCENTERS. represents the idea that even small actions, conversations, moments of support, or acts of honesty can build into meaningful change when people come together.
No one changes everything alone.
But together, small percentages become something powerful.
THE PERCENTERS. was founded through lived experience of mental health struggles, isolation, chronic health challenges, and seeing how disconnected modern life can feel for young adults.
It was built from the recognition that many people do not relate to traditional wellbeing spaces, despite still needing support, connection, and somewhere to belong.
Too many young adults feel: disconnected, emotionally burnt out, misunderstood, unsupported, stuck between services, pressured to appear okay, surrounded by noise but lacking genuine connection
THE PERCENTERS. was created to build the kind of space many of us wished existed earlier.
A space where people can learn, connect, reflect, laugh, open up, or exist around others without pressure or judgement.
What started as an idea became a growing community built on the belief that when people support each other honestly and authentically, small percentages of change add up to something bigger.

OUR ORIGIN.
THE PERCENTERS. exists to support young adults who feel disconnected, overlooked, isolated, or like traditional support does not fully fit them.
We are a peer-led mental health and wellbeing charity creating spaces that feel human, relatable, stigma-free, and real.
Our work is built around one simple belief:
Small acts of support, honesty, connection, and community can genuinely change lives.
We support young adults aged 18-26 through community wellbeing events, psychoeducation, conversations, creative projects, social spaces, and digital engagement designed to feel natural rather than clinical.
Many young adults are left in-between. Too old for youth spaces. Too overwhelmed to know where to start. Waiting for support. Avoiding support. Masking. Burnt out. Disconnected. Surrounded by people but still feeling alone.
THE PERCENTERS. was created to help bridge that gap.
Our approach combines lived experience, psychology, peer support, creativity, and community connection to create environments where people can show up as themselves without pressure, judgement, or the feeling they need to be “fixed” before belonging.
We believe wellbeing support should not feel cold, performative, inaccessible, or disconnected from real life.
It should feel honest, grounded, welcoming and most importantly; human.
We are not here to replace professional or clinical services.
We exist alongside them as prevention, connection, early support, community, and step-down spaces that help people feel seen, supported, and less alone.
In a society where people increasingly feel disconnected from themselves and each other, THE PERCENTERS. exists to bring people back together.
Because every percent matters.
Be the percent.
