Thank you so much to the British Red Cross for putting together another fantastic , this was the best one in years! We raised £166.50 in little gifts made by our service users in a little project organised by our wonderful volunteers Molly and Carolyn, which is fantastic!

See you all next year!

It's Refugee Week! Keep an eye out across the city for fun events celebrating the contributions made by refugees and asylum seekers to our city. We'll be joining the Red British Red Cross on Saturday down at Orton Square, so please pop by and see us and learn about all the work we do!

We just wanted to say a huge thank you to Horses for Causes for a fantastic afternoon helping us explore resilience as a idea through their unique workshops - as well as introducing us to all of the lovely horses they care for (as well as a few equally lovely dogs).

We all left happy having got so much from the experience, and exploring ourselves in a unique and creative way.

I'd like to say a massive thank you to LULS and PRO BONO of University of Leicester's law department for hosting an exciting fundraising football event and making me feel so welcome in attendance.

It was great fun. But I guess that's easy for me to say when I'm standing on the sidelines with a bottle of water when the weather is unseasonably hot!
