Could you be a founding trustee for a Milton Keynes charity?

Hi MK! I'm Rachel, founder of The Bear Path Project. For two years we've run free community events, including our Teddy Bear Picnic, and creative wellbeing workshops with John Lewis MK, all to tackle loneliness, mental wellbeing and help people feel connected.

I'm now setting up as a registered charity and looking for 3 founding trustees to help guide it from day one.

✅ No experience needed
✅ About 4 to 6 hours per quarter
✅ Great first board role and real governance experience
✅ Skills in finance, marketing, safeguarding, law or the charity sector are welcome, but belief in community matters most

If you're interested, or know someone who might be, message me or email [email protected] 💛

Please share with anyone who might be a fit.

I’m officially a Social Prescribing Champion. ❤️

And honestly, this one means a lot to me.

This image says it perfectly. Behind every door is a story we may know nothing about. Grief. Loneliness. Anxiety. Financial pressure. Poor health. Relationship breakdown. A difficult day that nobody else sees.

Social prescribing is about seeing the person behind the problem and connecting people with the right support, community and opportunities to improve their wellbeing.

I’m proud to champion an approach that reminds us: sometimes people don’t need another prescription. They need someone to listen, connect and help them find a way forward.

This is advocacy in another form, and I’m honoured to be part of it. 🧡

Proud to be a Social Prescribing Champion.

Studies consistently show that spending time in nature, engaging in creative activities, and building positive social connections support wellbeing for people of all ages. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️Research also suggests that many adults continue to benefit from comfort objects such as teddy bears. Studies have found that emotional attachment to a teddy bear can provide feelings of safety, comfort, and emotional regulation throughout adulthood, highlighting that these benefits are not limited to childhood. ❤️Tribot, A.-S., Blanc, N., Brassac, T., Guilhaumond, F., Casajus, N., & Mouquet, N.
