We met with one of our clients this morning at Hug in a Mug Walkden CIC and as always there's such a fab community feel there.

The lovely Teresa also runs a Chatty Table there every Friday 11am–1pm

What a brilliant opportunity for anyone who fancies getting out of the house, meeting new people or simply having a friendly face to face chat to over a cuppa.

We love seeing local places bringing people together and helping to tackle loneliness and isolation right in the heart of our communities!

SOME GOOD NEWS FOR OUR WOMEN'S GROUP!

We're really pleased to announce that we've secured funding to continue our Women's Group for another 6 months!

Thanks to the "Whose Art, Whose Culture?" funding, managed by Salford CVS, we'll be exploring art, culture and heritage in our own way

We want the women in our group to bring their own ideas, experiences and individuality to the table, helping shape the activities we do together.

We'd love to welcome some new faces, so if you've been thinking about joining us, now is a great time

We were invited today to a fantastic workshop run by the wonderful Jo to learn more about the SPACE project. Exploring the links between green social prescribing, cancer prevention and support and reducing the impact of long-term chronic health conditions.

It was really interesting to hear more about how connecting people with nature, green spaces and their communities can play a part in supporting both physical and mental wellbeing.

And what better place to talk about green prescribing than the beautiful grounds of RHS Garden Bridgewater. We even got the opportunity to visit the new Yangzhou Scholars’ Garden.It’s the first authentic classical Chinese garden of its kind to be built in the UK and is absolutely stunning.

A big thank you to Jo Ward and Kerry at RHS for inviting us along.

It's on the 10th October.
This year’s theme is “Lived experiences heard: real voices, real change.”

At Supportive Spaces, we thought it was important to share some of our own stories too. We’re local women with lived experience and what we’ve been through has helped shape the kind of support we offer today: personal, understanding and centred around each individual.

Sue is sharing a little of her journey here. We hope it reminds someone that struggling doesn’t mean you’re alone and that finding your way again can start with a small step like a simple chat.

If you’re having a tough time, you don’t need to have all the right words before reaching out.

A little update from us:

We just wanted to be open and honest about where things are at the moment.

We’ve seen a big increase in referrals and currently have over 80 people on our books, as well as running our regular groups. There are only two of us managing the service and unfortunately funding is particularly low right now.

At the moment, we currently have no funding available to cover our own wages, which means we are currently volunteering our time to keep our service running and to continue supporting people.

Alongside delivering the service, we’re spending a lot of time behind the scenes applying for funding and looking at ways to secure the future of Supportive Spaces. Because of this, it may take us a little longer than usual to respond to referrals, emails, make contact and keep up with our usual check-ins.

If you’re waiting to hear from us, please know you haven’t been forgotten. We’re working through everything as quickly as we can while making sure people still receive the time and support they deserve.

We’re incredibly grateful for everyone’s patience and understanding.

The demand we’re seeing only highlights just how needed this kind of support is in our community.

Sue and Alison ❤️

Update 1:

The signal in the area has been dreadful past few days and unfortunately it appears to be particularly bad today.

I have been struggling to contact people, even text messages aren't going through.

Our sincere apologies if you are waiting on contact from us

One of the loveliest things about our Games Group is seeing different people come together over a simple game of dominoes.

It’s such a lovely little group of people who just get along, enjoy each other’s company and make everyone feel welcome.

We’re really grateful for the people who come along and make the group what it is.

But don't underestimate these lot though, they're fiercely competitive and incredibly funny when they get going, I think my cheeks are still hurting from laughing so much this afternoon 😆

Johnny might be a bit sweary 😂 but sometimes that just makes the message easier to understand!

And the message is spot on. We can put ourselves through so much unnecessary anxiety, going over the same thoughts and worries on a constant loop.

We can’t control everything, but we can start being more proactive about the things we CAN control. Recognising our triggers, breaking those thought loops and finding small ways to reduce the anxiety rather than letting it build.

Sometimes we need things said simply and straight to the point!
