Where is the ‘off switch’ for your busy mind?
Our Social Enterprise helps people who feel over-burdened or anxious to discover their own built-in resilience and resourcefulness.
Our vision is for everyone to live fulfilled and connected lives in their community. Our mission is to celebrate and acknowledge the natural resilience of the human spirit.
Here at the Inner Compass Guide CIC (Community Interest Company) we don’t share tools or techniques, but instead show how a simple form of listening connects to wellbeing.
We (Liz Scott and Stu Newberry) are building a network of ‘Wellbeing Listeners’ within our local community of Ivybridge. We are collaborating with the Social Prescriber, charities, groups, faith organisations, local businesses and the Community Voluntary Sector to create a thriving community founded on wellbeing.
We’ve seen how laughter, conversation and connections naturally arise when people listen out for the inherent wellbeing in each other.
The Inner Compass Guide CIC shines a light on the existing strengths and resilience within individuals (and the wider community) enabling people to slow-down and reconnect with what is meaningful and important to them.

Want to be a Wellbeing Listener?
We run Wellbeing Listener Courses which are subsidised for people local to Ivybridge. Once you’ve engaged in the programmes we encourage you to become a Wellbeing Listener for your friends, family and/or work colleagues.
If you live in or near Ivybridge you can join us at the ‘Ivybridge Community Hub’ for an informal meet-up where you can be of support to others.
Here are the four programmes. We run these online, so they are also accessible for those outside of the Ivybridge area.
