🚢 JUST 7 DAYS TO GO!

Next Friday, we'll be heading to Crombie Country Park for Marion's Sponsored Walk and we're still hoping to see some more friendly faces joining us! πŸ’œ

This isn't about being the fastest walker.

It's about coming together, getting some fresh air, having a chat and raising money to help us continue our work in the community.

Bring a friend. Bring the family. Bring your walking shoes. πŸ‘Ÿ

πŸ“ž Jo, we’re trying to get back in touch with you! πŸ§˜β€β™€οΈ

We recently received a phone call from a lady called Jo who was enquiring about our Seated Yoga group.

Unfortunately, we seem to have written down your telephone number incorrectly, so we’re unable to return your call! πŸ™ˆ

If this was you, please could you give the office a call on 01382 760142 so that we can get back in touch with you?

We’re sorry for the mix-up, Jo, and hope we can speak to you soon!

πŸ’œ What does being a Befriender actually mean?

You don't need to have all the answers.

You don't need to be an expert.

And you certainly don't need to be able to fix someone's problems.

Being a Befriender is about something much simpler – being there.

A chat over a cup of tea. β˜•
A walk together. 🚢
A shared laugh. 😊
Someone to talk to and look forward to seeing.

For someone who feels lonely or isolated, that regular connection can mean so much.

And sometimes, the smallest acts of friendship can make the biggest difference.

πŸ’œ That's what befriending is all about.

πŸ₯Ύ What a Kiltwalk! πŸ’™

On Sunday 16th August, the team from Monifieth Health Centre took on the incredible 20-mile Kiltwalk challenge in support of Monifieth Befrienders!

Despite a damp start, the weather soon brightened up, and the walkers were treated to plenty of sunshine for much of the route. β˜€οΈ

And they made it all the way to the finish line still smiling! πŸ™ŒπŸ‘

We’re currently waiting to hear the final fundraising total, but we already know that every penny raised will go directly towards supporting Monifieth Befrienders and the people we help in our local community. πŸ’™

A huge well done to the whole team, and a heartfelt thank you to everyone who took part, donated, encouraged and supported them along the way.

20 miles. One amazing team. A wonderful cause. πŸ₯ΎπŸ’™
