✨ A little bit of magic from last night! 🪄

As if celebrating 30 years of Charlie Bigham’s wasn’t special enough, we were treated to some incredible close-up magic!

Still trying to work out how this was done!

A brilliant evening celebrating a business that does so much for our local community.

30 years of Charlie Bighams!

Last night, we had the pleasure of joining Charlie Bigham’s in London to celebrate their 30th birthday. What a fantastic evening!

At Heads Up Somerset, we’re incredibly fortunate to have the support of some wonderful local businesses, and Charlie Bigham’s is one of those who really does go above and beyond.

Partnerships like these mean so much to small charities like ours. It’s not just about fundraising, it’s about businesses genuinely caring about the communities around them and helping us make a difference.

It was also lovely to catch up with one of our patrons, MP Tessa Munt, who continues to champion the work we do.

A huge thank you to Charlie and the whole team for inviting us to share such a special milestone.

Here’s to another 30 years!

"Man up." "Be strong." "You'll be alright."

How many times have we heard these words?

And how many men have grown up believing that showing emotion, asking for help or admitting they're struggling is somehow a sign of weakness?

This November marks Men's Mental Health Awareness Month, and we want to help change that conversation.

Because men experience anxiety.
Men experience depression.
Men feel lonely.
Men grieve.
Men struggle.

And men deserve to be heard, understood and supported, just like everyone else.

At Heads Up Somerset, we believe that good mental health starts with connection, understanding and having somewhere you feel comfortable being yourself.

Sometimes the most meaningful conversations happen when we're doing something together.

Working on a woodworking project.
Sharing a cuppa.
Trying something creative.
Having a conversation without pressure or judgement.

You don't always have to sit down and say, "I need help." Sometimes connection is where that conversation begins.

To the men in our community: you don't have to carry everything on your own.

And to everyone reading this, perhaps there's a man in your life who could do with a check-in today.

Not just "You alright, mate?"

But a genuine conversation, with time to listen to the answer.

At Heads Up Somerset, our doors are open to anyone who could benefit from support, creativity, connection and hope.

Being strong doesn't mean never struggling. And asking for support takes courage.

That’s a wrap on our spooktacular Halloween week at Heads Up!

What a fantastic way to finish the week! Our final Halloween party was filled with laughter, wonderful costumes, tasty treats and, most importantly, lovely moments spent together.

A huge thank you to our amazing staff, volunteers and everyone who joined in to make this week so special.

At Heads Up, it’s about so much more than activities. It’s about friendship, connection, belonging and creating moments that make people smile.

Happy Halloween from all of us at Heads Up Somerset! 🎃

What if we could support someone before they reached crisis point?

It's a question that sits at the heart of what we do at Heads Up Somerset.

When we talk about mental health and social care, so much attention is understandably focused on what happens when someone reaches crisis.

But what about everything that happens before that?

The older person who is becoming increasingly isolated.

The unpaid carer who is exhausted but doesn't know where to turn.

The person struggling with their mental health who needs someone to believe in them.

The individual living with dementia who still has so much to contribute, enjoy and experience.

This is where community charities like Heads Up Somerset can make a real difference.

Through our wellbeing groups, dementia support, creative activities, outreach services and carers support, we help people build confidence, maintain independence and feel connected to their community.

Early intervention isn't just about preventing things from getting worse. It's about creating opportunities for things to get better.

It's about recognising people's strengths, not just their difficulties.

It's about dignity, choice, independence and hope.

And it's about understanding that sometimes a few hours of meaningful support can make an enormous difference to someone's week.

We're proud to be a small Somerset charity making a difference in our community, one person and one connection at a time.

If you'd like to support our work, whether through volunteering, fundraising, a corporate partnership or simply sharing our story, we'd love to hear from you.

Because strong communities don't happen by accident. We build them together. ❤
