December saw the Shortstown Soup ‘n’ Roll group come together for their lunch with a Christmas vibe. There were table decorations made by one of our community helpers, Christmas crackers, mince pies, home-made Victoria sponge made by a guest from the community, and Christmas songs on in the background.
We’re very happy to be sharing RED January 2019 with so many of our supporters. You’ll be joining thousands of people around the UK and beyond who are getting active to support their mental health. Last year, 87% of REDers felt significantly better mentally and physically after taking part in RED January (taken from a survey of 3,000 REDers after January 2018).
We are very proud to be partnering with national Mind and The Good Things Foundation to deliver the third phase of the Reboot UK project in 2018 and 2019. Reboot UK is a landmark programme aimed at supporting the most vulnerable in society to improve their wellbeing through gaining digital skills. The project aims to build a network of organisations and people who will share the skills and confidence people need to get online, giving them greater choice and control over their lives.
Last Thursday, 4 October, saw a performance of Help! by Viki Browne at The Place Theatre in Bedford. Help! is a show about falling apart, pulling yourself together and being surprised by what you’re left with. It is for anyone who’s ever struggled.
The weekly Queens Park Ladies group for the over 55s takes a break in the school holidays, but we felt the summer holidays was far too long not to have a catch up! So last week we all met for a coffee and a snack at Chaa Sha on Iddesleigh Road.
