• UPSTREAM was started by local doctors who found that many people, at various stages in their lives, need only a helping hand to revive their interests and enjoyment of life.

• Upstream takes up the challenge to reduce inappropriate dependency on health and social care services, relieve depression, prolong active life, encourage people to improve their own health and well-being, build self-confidence and invigorate communities.

• Upstream’s success has been independently evaluated by The Peninsula Medical School and recognised by Government Departments, Local Authorities and the participants and professionals themselves.
