Looking for a boost to your wellbeing? 🌿☀️

Come and join us at the Greenhouse Wellbeing Project for some fresh air, a bit of graft, good company, and Sam’s delicious toasties! 🥪

Whether you fancy getting stuck into some gardening, enjoying the outdoors, or simply having a chat and a brew in a welcoming space, there’s something for everyone.

Taking time for yourself, connecting with others, and spending time in nature can make such a difference to wellbeing and we’d love to see you there. 🌱

Fresh air. Graft. Sam’s toasties. Good people. What more could you want?

Our women’s group has been creating hand-painted glass jars 💚.

Each one uniquely designed with care, creativity, and intention. These beautiful jars are meant to be filled with positive affirmations, gentle reminders, and words of strength to turn to on both the good days and the harder ones.

Whether it’s “I am enough,” “This feeling will pass,” or “I am stronger than I think,” these small notes can make a big difference over time.

This isn’t just about crafting. It’s about connection, expression, and building something meaningful together.

If this speaks to you, you’re always welcome to join us.

The women at Fleethouse have now completed all 4 sessions of the Lifeskills Personal Development modules!

Our final session focused on understanding zones of control, and the women brought so much valuable insight, honesty, and discussion to the group.

To celebrate completing the programme, we enjoyed a fantastic game of self-care bingo with self-care prizes, followed by the presentation of certificates recognising the women’s commitment and participation throughout the sessions.

It has been an absolute honour to work alongside the women at Fleethouse. They are strong, brave, and resilient, continually supporting and uplifting one another through so much adversity. The courage, kindness, and encouragement shown within the group has been truly inspiring.

A huge well done to every woman who took part and contributed so openly throughout the programme.

– Lifeskills Coordinators Kelly and Stacey 💚
