It's this week and to celebrate we asked our amazing volunteers what they like about volunteering with us! Thank you to everyone who has volunteered with us now and in the past, whether on reception, running activities, helping out with events, working on the board, and more! We really appreciate it and couldn't operate without you!

Mindful Mondays
Every Monday we meet to practice mindfulness through meditation, slow walking and mindful discussion. We meet for 2 hrs, although you can come for what time you can manage. The session provides an oasis of calm and mental health wellbeing through a loose and relaxed format. No prior experience of practice is needed to build your tools and help facilitate your own sanctuary from our busy lives.

Join us for however long you can from 7pm. It’s free and you are most welcome. Mondays, 7-9pm, Corbett Community Library.

All donations welcome.

“In caring for my Dad and being a mum of young ones during this time, at times, I felt MM was my only sanctuary from the chaos, just that short time once a week was enough to keep me sane…” LB

“Mindfulness enhances my mental health through life’s ups and downs. Monday evenings ground me and I find calm and relaxation ready for the remaining week.” GN
