Life of a Founding Director in the Third Sector: As usual, so busy steering the ship, designing and delivering the young people’s mental health and wellbeing support and fundraising for Shine Bright CIC - Transforming Wellbeing Together, my social media and shouting proudly about what we do gets forgotten about!

I can assure you that we are supporting our Juniors, Teens and Young Adults mental health across Leeds, we have several WRAP - Wellness Recovery Action Plan groups running (with more to come…watch this space!), we provide lots of 1:1 support and training future WRAP facilitator’s and have even been successful in securing funding! We will shout about it all very soon!

In the meantime if you know someone who is considering volunteering some time to a good cause, (a few hours or regular support) founder Nicola Swales would benefit from your time! We are in need of individuals who have tech skills in social media, making short edits, updating website (Wordpress), setting up and overseeing a Etsy page and someone who is training to be/or are a researcher to support us on a specific project, please do get in touch for a chat.

It would look great on your CV, as work or volunteer experience. We write a great reference and it’s for a great cause! Who knows it may lead to more opportunities.
