Inner Guru CIC is a community interest company based in Kirkdale, Liverpool. Our vision is to support the physical, mental and spiritual wellbeing of our community.

We have been established since 2020

• We aim to end the stigma of mental health, by offering inclusive, non-judgement wellness classes and support groups in a non-clinical setting

• Our main goal is to bridge the gap of the long waiting lists for mental health support by offering complimentary therapies, wellness classes, support groups and activities, such as Sauna and Cold water therapy.

• Our mission: To provide safe community spaces that support wellbeing of people that need it the most.

Why does it count now more than ever to offer these free services?

In North Liverpool in 2025

  • Local food banks have seen a 60% rise in demand over the past year, with more working families seeking support for the first time.

  • 1 in 5 households are reported to be fuel poor, struggling to keep their homes warm during the winter months.

  • The cost of living crisis has led to increased levels of stress, anxiety, and depression, especially among low-income families and vulnerable individuals.

  • In areas like Everton East, 72.7% of households experience deprivation in at least one dimension, such as employment, education, health, or housing.

  • How Our Centres Can Help You Thrive

    At Inner Guru, we offer a safe, welcoming space to help you manage the challenges caused by the cost of living crisis:

    Our Goal is to create more free classes for those struggling with the cost of living crisis, but we need your help!
