Cockermouth Linking Lives

We were thrilled to be one of the chosen charities of Cockermouth's outgoing Mayor, Councillor David Malloy, and will put that £700 donation to very good use in our befriending services. Thank you so much! 🌟⭐️✨

Andy's a loyal supporter of Cockermouth Linking Lives and this looks like a tasty event! Tickets on sale now...

If anyone wants to hear Andy talking all things to do with bread, then get your tickets for this Cockermouth LIVE fundraiser on Sunday 7th June between 7 and 9pm at the Kirkgate Arts Centre. Along with Stephen from The Moon and Sixpence and Buster from Jennings Brewery, the whole evening will be dedicated to talking about food and drink in Cockermouth. There'll be a Q&A session too.

Should be a lot of fun.

Only 10 days to go until the next in our series of FREE sessions intended to help you as you support others in your family, neighbourhood and other groups and communities that you are part of.

💙 1 in 3 adults have experienced trauma
💙 1 in 5 have chronic mental health conditions

So if you meet and support other people in your daily life, you will be working with people with these life experiences - and many of your fellow volunteers will be in the same boat.

Please join us next Saturday morning to learn a little more about how to relate, communicate and support the people around you better from a local expert from STEP FORWARD – a great local programme to help people with chronic mental health issues into volunteering and work.
