✨ Celebrating Community at Royfold House ✨

Staff members from Trinity Hall and the Trades Widows Fund Charity were delighted to visit the brand new premises of Somebody Cares Aberdeen at Royfold House for their official opening today.

It was inspiring to see the incredible work being done to support individuals and families across Aberdeen, and to witness first hand the dedication that has gone into creating this welcoming new space. Our organisations share a long history of helping those in need, and it was a privilege to stand alongside a charity whose values resonate so strongly with our own.

A huge congratulations to the whole Somebody Cares team on this exciting new chapter. We look forward to continuing our partnership in supporting our local community and ensuring help reaches those who need it most ❤️

❤️THE TEAM❤️

Last night, representatives from the Trades Widows Fund Charity and The Seven Incorporated Trades of Aberdeen were welcomed into the Players Lounge at Aberdeen Football Club for a moving visit to the SAMH Changing Rooms Project.

The initiative places wellbeing, connection and community at its heart. Changing Rooms is a place for open conversation about mental health, shared stories and honest experiences, where people can talk, listen and find strength together - creating a safe, stigma free space.

The Trades Widows Fund Charity were delighted to recently donate £4460 towards the project and it was heart warming to see it in action.

A big thank you for letting us attend the session and speak with the incredible community that's been built! ❤️
