🌿 A little bit of community sunshine! 🌿

Thanks to our friends Trust Links Charity a regular smile is always brought to our faces by what we see in the Community Garden. Today's been especially cheerful.

Right at the rear of our offices, we have the pleasure of enjoying this wonderful space – from the creative planting and beautiful displays to the vegetables growing so well. 🌱🥕🌻

It’s lovely to see community spaces like this being cared for and bringing colour, creativity and a real sense of wellbeing to the area.💚

A big thank you to the team at Trust Links for all the work you do in our community. We’re proud to be neighbours and to support each other’s work. 🤝

🎒 As the summer holidays begin to draw to a close, many children and young people will be thinking about going back to school. While this can be an exciting time, it can also bring worries, anxiety and other challenges.

Our Emotional Wellbeing and Mental Health pages offer information, advice and support for young people, parents and carers, and professionals. You'll also find links to trusted resources covering a wide range of mental health topics and where to get help.

Take a look and share with anyone who may find it useful: 👉 https://www.escb.co.uk/safeguarding-topics/emotional-wellbeing-and-mental-health/

Phoebe, one of our lovely Community Support Advisors is taking on a fundraising challenge that is close to her heart and involves a 30km charity walk on 19th September with the one and only McFly's Danny Jones and a wonderful group of supporters to help raise money for the Charity CALM (Campaign Against Living Miserably). Campaign Against Living Miserably.

If you’re able to make a small contribution, it will be truly appreciated; no matter how big or small, every penny counts.

If donating isn’t possible, then perhaps you can help share the fundraising link and read the heartwarming story behind the comittment.
