About MESH

MESH opened in 1989 as a charity dedicated to improving local lives and communities through mediation.

 

Years of experience have shown us that mediation offers an effective way out of most conflict: it helps people, their relationships, careers and even whole communities to thrive and get stronger. We really believe in helping this to happen – it’s a benefit to all local people.

Our small staff team of outstanding mediators guide people out of family and relationship disputes, conflict in the workplace, or with neighbours and even across whole communities. MESH is also a recognised centre of excellence in mediator training. This includes training volunteers and frontline service providers in neighbour mediation skills and practices, giving them the skills to negotiate, deal with difficult people and situations. 

Our mission is to lead people through conflict to resolution, and to impart skills to avoid conflict in future, giving us all the best chance of health, happiness and progress.

By using MESH’s paid-for services you are helping to fund mediation and conflict resolution for those who cannot otherwise afford it.
