Penumbra offers short breaks at Kingsgate in Aberdeen. We provide guest house style accommodation for people living in the Grampian area who experience ongoing mental ill health.

Kingsgate provides a sensitive support environment for guests, whilst giving carers a break. Our restorative short breaks contribute to positive mental health, help prevent crisis, and promote recovery and wellbeing.

Guests have the opportunity to pursue either their own activities or shared social and recreational activities with others. We offer people the space and time to reflect, and to develop problem solving techniques to encourage personal wellbeing. For more general information about short breaks see Short Breaks.
