ABOUT US
221 is a voluntary, not-for-profit organisation, run by volunteers and committed to helping people who are finding it hard to cope with all the emotional and practical difficulties they face after the break-up of a relationship.
For many couples, divorce can be a mutual and considered agreement, but for the vast majority, the break-up of a marriage comes as a shock which causes intense mental anguish and has a devastating effect on the family.
Through its telephone service and group meetings, 221 aims to provide a safe and confidential environment to promote recovery and rebuild confidence. We are here to listen and support.
WHAT WE DO
We provide a phone line for those urgent times when you simply need to talk to someone.
We run groups that meet once a month and offer a chance to talk with others in similar situations. These groups also organise social activities, enabling companionship, and the encouragement to cope with society again.
HOW WE STARTED
We found that people going through this challenging and unique experience felt very alone and were not able to access support specific to understanding their needs.
We have been able to provide help because all members of the 221 team are divorced themselves and understand the urgent need to talk. Our phone line can be a vital link at a time of great distress.
Run by volunteers since 2007, our help is solely through supporting each other, and we do not provide professional advice or counselling.
221 is for any person who is at any stage of separation or divorce.
221 is not a dating agency.
We welcome people of all religions and none and there is no religious content to our courses. However, we greatly appreciate the encouragement and of Oundle and Trumpington Parish Churches, which enables us to continue our work.
