About Us

Barnet Wellbeing Service (BWS) is Barnet’s borough-wide, partnership-led service supporting adults who live, work, or study in the borough with their mental health and wellbeing. Established in 2018, BWS was co-designed with local residents, voluntary and community organisations, health partners, and the NHS to provide early, accessible, whole-person support. Our focus is on “What matters to you?”, helping people get the right support at the right time.

​

How We Work

BWS is led by CB Plus as the prime contractor, working alongside delivery partners: Meridian Wellbeing, Mind in Enfield & Barnet, and New Citizens Gateway. Together, we provide a joined-up, coordinated approach to emotional and mental wellbeing across Barnet.

​

Our Core Services

  • Barnet Wellbeing Hub – The main entry point to BWS, delivered by Meridian Wellbeing. The Hub offers Emotional Health Checks, personalised wellbeing conversations, and guidance to connect people to the right support across Barnet. It helps residents understand their needs, plan next steps, and access services efficiently.

  • Refugee & Asylum Seeker Support – Culturally informed talking therapies and group wellbeing activities, delivered by New Citizens Gateway.

  • 18–25 Wellbeing Support – Targeted emotional support for young adults, delivered by CB Plus through Barnet Young People Thrive.

Aligned services include Public Health campaigns, Autism Awareness Service, Barnet Sanctuary, and other community-based initiatives. Step 2 and Step 3 IAPT-compliant therapies, alongside psycho-educational workshops and webinars, are delivered by North London Foundation Trust clinicians.
