💙💚 WE’RE STILL HERE — AND WE’VE BEEN BUSY! 💚💙

We’ve been working behind the scenes to redefine our offer and make it clearer what Clear Mind does and how you can access support.

Our work now sits across four connected strands:

🌱 REACH – Connecting people with support, reducing isolation and reaching people where they are.

💚 RESTORE – Creating safe spaces for connection, food, warmth, community and wellbeing.

💙 RISE – Creating opportunities for people to have a voice, get involved, build confidence and strengthen their community.

🏡 RESET – Practical wellbeing and decluttering support to help people create calmer, healthier homes and lives.

So, what’s happening?

🌱 REACH: Our befriending support is open and taking referrals. Please see our website www.clearmind-cic.co.uk for referral info

Our wider in-person community support is awaiting funding decisions, but support can still be accessed through our café.
We will also soon have food and toiletries parcels available for single people and families

☕ RESTORE: Our Community Café is open and returns to 5 days a week from w/c 7th September 10am to 2pm.

Our Warm Hub continues Monday, Wednesday & Friday, 10am–2pm, with FREE breakfast cobs 10.15–11.15am.
More free community meals are also being planned.

🏡 RESET: Launching mid–end September — and we’ve already had 20+ enquiries!

💜 RISE: Our events will be announced shortly. Alvaston Rise, our new community wellbeing and resident steering group, is also getting underway, with more information coming soon.

We’re growing, evolving and making it easier to see how Clear Mind can support you. 💙💚

Together, we can lighten the load.

At Clear Mind Derby CIC, we’re proud to be based at Handyside Court in Alvaston, where we work closely and collaboratively with the team and residents.
💙💚

While we are based within Handyside Court and extremely grateful for the space we have,

Clear Mind Derby CIC is a completely independent Community Interest Company and is a separate organisation.

Handyside Court is an Extra Living Scheme, not a nursing home or care home. It provides a safe, accessible environment for people to live independently, with care & support available where appropriate.
💚💙

Our Community Café, Warm Hub, Workshops, Events and Community support are open to everyone.

You do not need to live at Handyside Court to visit us, have a cuppa, enjoy a meal, meet others, access our Warm Hub or speak to us about support.
You are also welcome to join in with activities that Handyside Court also run - Bingo, Craft, Quizzes and Events
💙💚

Whether you live locally, are feeling isolated, need a little help navigating things, want somewhere welcoming to come and connect with others, or simply fancy a cuppa and a chat — you are welcome at Clear Mind Derby.

We are proud to be based at Handyside Court and grateful for the collaborative relationship we have, while remaining very much Clear Mind Derby CIC — our own independent community organisation, here for the wider community.

Everyone is welcome. No labels. No judgement. Just community, connection and support.
💚💙

✨ Something NEW is coming to Clear Mind Derby… ✨

Introducing RESET – Decluttering & Wellbeing Support 🏡💚💙

Sometimes, when life feels overwhelming, so does our home. Clutter can build up, motivation can disappear, and knowing where to start can feel impossible.

RESET is about more than just tidying. It’s about creating a calmer, safer space while supporting your wellbeing, confidence and sense of control along the way.

RESET is coming soon.

Please see our website for more details and how to send us your interest 😊

💚SAFER MINDS, STRONGER COMMUNITIES 💙

Today we were delighted to host our August Safer Minds, Stronger Communities networking event, and what a fantastic morning it was!

A huge thank you to everyone who attended. It was wonderful to see such a great turnout from professionals across Derby and Derbyshire's support sector, all coming together with one shared goal – improving outcomes for
the people and communities we serve.

We were especially grateful to hear from some incredible organisations about the support they provide:

💙 Kooth – a free, safe and anonymous online mental health and wellbeing service for children and young people, offering access to professional support, self-help resources and moderated peer communities without the need for a referral.

💚 Derby and Derbyshire Talking Therapies – a free NHS service supporting adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress and other common mental health difficulties, with self-referral available for anyone aged 16+ who is registered with a local GP.

💼 Ingeus Employment Support – providing specialist employment advice alongside Talking Therapies, helping people stay in work, return to work or find new employment while managing their mental health.

Events like these remind us just how important partnership working is. No single organisation can meet every need, but by building relationships, sharing knowledge and understanding the support available across our communities, we can make sure people receive the right help at the right time.

A huge thank you also goes to our incredible kitchen team, who provided a complimentary lunch for everyone attending. Sharing food created the perfect opportunity for professionals to sit, pause, enjoy a meal together and, most importantly, connect. Those informal conversations are often where some of the strongest partnerships begin, and we're so grateful to our team for helping make that happen.

Thank you to everyone who joined us, contributed to the conversations and continues to work tirelessly to create Safer Minds, Stronger Communities. We look forward to welcoming you to our next networking event!

💙DG💚

Today we had the privilege of saying "see you next time" to someone who became a valued part of our Clear Mind Derby community.

Although we were there to support you, somewhere along the way you became a source of support for us too.

Your kindness, humour, honesty and presence left a lasting mark on our team, and we will always be grateful for the time we shared with you.

Today was filled with warmth, love and stories that reminded us of a life that touched so many people. It was an honour to meet your family and to see just how deeply you were loved.

Thank you for welcoming us so warmly and allowing us to be part of such a special farewell.

We will carry the memories of the time we shared with us and remember you with great affection. Your place within our community will never be forgotten.

Rest peacefully. 💙
