🎉 ONE YEAR OF THE BLOOMSPACE FOUNDATION! 🎉
One year ago, we took a huge step forward, leaving the Mind federation and beginning an exciting new chapter as The BloomSpace Foundation. And what an incredible first year it's been!
Establishing ourselves outside the federation has given us greater freedom to grow, develop new opportunities and shape our services around what our local community really needs.
And we're so proud to share just how far we've come!
🌸 42% more people accessing our services!
🌸 11% more referrals received!
🌸 100% of those with measured wellbeing outcomes showing improvement!
These figures compare our first quarter as BloomSpace with the same period the previous year, when we were part of Mind.
But behind every number is a person. Someone who has reached out for support, attended a wellbeing session, accessed counselling or simply found a space where they feel welcomed, heard and understood.
Over the past year, we've continued to build on our counselling services, introduce new wellbeing workshops, develop partnerships and create more opportunities for people in our community to access mental health support.
Moving away from the Mind federation was a big change, but it's allowed us to establish our own identity, make decisions that reflect the needs of our community and continue building something we're incredibly proud of.
Of course, none of this would be possible without our wonderful team of staff, volunteers, counsellors, trustees, funders and community partners who believe in what we do.
And to everyone who has walked through our doors, attended a session, shared our posts, donated or supported us in any way, THANK YOU!
We're incredibly proud of our first year as The BloomSpace Foundation, and even more excited about what's still to come.
One year as BloomSpace. Reaching more people. Making a difference.
Here's to many more years of growing and blooming together! 💜
