Building Brighter Futures

• Our key focuses are around wellbeing and supporting people to have positive, healthy attitudes and techniques in managing their physical and mental health. We are able to provide support to build self-confidence and self-belief, to educate and encourage self-compassion, acceptance and resilience.

• Loneliness is a huge mental health issue with lack of connection being as unhealthy for people as smoking, recent studies show. We are a growing community with community events such as coffee mornings, wellbeing walks and more. We bring together participants to share ideas, experiences and to build connections with each other thus reducing social isolation.

• The pressures of modern life can be overwhelming particularly for vulnerable people. Our project welcomes everyone regardless of background to support them in unique, diverse ways whether that be managing their Universal Credit account, contacting the Home Office, addressing debt, setting up payments for bills, assisting with social housing enquiries or concerns and more.

The project has been described as a "heart warming family" by a participant which is particularly moving as many of our participants are estranged from family or have challenges in their families, so to know the project can provide familial support and care demonstrates how important it is to people.
