Sadly we've had a rough time of it recently. We've fallen slightly behind with our strategic plan for fundraising this quarter due to a serious car accident, staff illness and a four day hospital admission, we've had to even close the office this week!
So we're calling out to our community for support now.

Can you help?

We're looking for someone who can volunteer one day a week to help us with fundraising, someone who can help us plan larger events, and we're also seeking further sponsorship and corporate partners who can also support financially.

Although our referrals have more than tripled in the last year and the feedback we are receiving is phenomenal, funding applications are a full time job.

Please help us continue this vital work.

Or maybe you'd prefer to just donate through the JustGiving link below.
Any way that you can support us will help.

Thank you 🙏

🩵 June is PTSD Awareness Month 🩵

This month, we take time to raise awareness of Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD), reduce stigma, and remind those affected that they are not alone.

PTSD can develop after experiencing or witnessing traumatic events, and it can affect people in many different ways. While the impact of trauma can be significant, recovery is possible, and support is available.

📅 June 27th is National PTSD Awareness Day – an opportunity to learn more, share understanding, and help create a more compassionate community for those living with the effects of trauma.

💚 PTSD is not a sign of weakness.
💚 Healing looks different for everyone.
💚 Asking for help is a sign of strength.
💚 Recovery is possible.

At NODA Ayrshire, we believe that nobody should have to face life's challenges alone. By talking openly about mental health and trauma, we can help break down barriers and encourage people to reach out for support when they need it.

If this post resonates with you, please consider sharing it to help spread awareness and understanding.

🌧️ Walking Group Cancelled Today 🌧

Unfortunately, due to the weather, today's Walking Group has been cancelled.

As tempting as it might be to turn it into a swimming group instead, we think we'll save that for another day! 🏊‍♀️😄

We hope everyone stays safe, warm, and dry, and we look forward to seeing you all at our next walk.

Take care,
💙
