Established in 1987 as a charity working with people experiencing mental ill-health, supporting them in their journey to recovery. Throughout these years we have maintained our position at the cutting edge of mental health recovery, leading on excellence and advancing innovation in the sector. Today, whilst we have retained our expertise in supporting people with mental ill health, we also work with other groups providing personalised support.
Birchwood Highland's Board of Trustees are members of the public who have particular skills and experience that they can bring to the company in a voluntary capacity. They play a very important role in the company in terms of making key strategic decisions and monitoring the company's progress from an external perspective.

Under Birchwood Highland, the project HiMRA (Highland Migrant & Refugee Action) was established in 2018 to empower and bring together people who identify as migrants and refugees, to strengthen community integration and social inclusion in the Highlands of Scotland. Building on the findings from Birchwood Highland's 'Migrant Matters' research, the project seeks to fulfil the need for supports to be enduring, community based and community led.
