This week is Volunteer' Week, we are celebrating our volunteers and those that are here from volunteering.

Volunteering is a great way to gain experience in a chosen field, and here at Base 25 we offer a variety of different opportunities.

This is Ben
Ben has recently joined the Base 25 team as volunteer in our community team.
"I help out in the charity shop, going through each item of clothing to make sure everything is neat, tidy, have price tags and are in good condition."
"I'm hoping that in the future I will be able to be more confident in myself and will be able to thrive better in a work environment and put my all into being someone who is reliable and always ready to help and Base 25 is helping me with that by giving me those opportunities to be reliable, helpful, and increasing my self confidence"

Ben's volunteer work within Base 25 is invaluable, and we love having him as part of our team.

If you would like to be part of Base 25 as a volunteer just email [email protected]

We’re incredibly proud to share some fantastic news!

Base 25 has successfully secured funding from Wolverhampton Council to deliver specialist counselling and therapeutic support for adult victims and survivors of domestic abuse over the next three years.

For 25 years, Base 25 has provided counselling and emotional wellbeing support across the community, supporting people to improve their mental health, resilience, and wellbeing. Over the last 15 years, through our SAFE Project, we have also worked closely with children and young people who have experienced or witnessed domestic abuse.

We understand the long-lasting and complex impact domestic abuse can have on individuals and families, which is why we are so pleased to now extend this specialist support to adults within our community.

This funding will enable us to provide vital therapeutic interventions that help survivors heal, rebuild confidence, and move forward safely with the right support around them.

We would like to thank Wolverhampton Council for their continued trust in the work of Base 25 and their ongoing commitment to supporting those affected by domestic abuse. Together, we can continue making a meaningful difference in people’s lives.

We’re delighted to welcome our newest volunteers, student counsellors, and social work students to Base 25 💙

Over the last 3 days, this fantastic group has completed our Introduction to the Helping Professions training, covering:

• Working with individuals, groups, and communities
• Skills and theory
• Diversity, Equity & Inclusion (DEI)
• Safeguarding and professional practice

It has been a pleasure getting to know such a compassionate, thoughtful, and talented group of people, all bringing their own experiences, passion, and commitment to supporting others.

Volunteers play a huge role in the work we do at Base 25. Their time, energy, and dedication help us continue supporting children, young people, and adults across our community every single day.

We are incredibly excited to see the positive impact this group will make as they begin their journey with us — welcome to the Base 25 team! 🙌

🐹Square Pegs become Square Pigs!🐹

We had some lovely little visitors join our Square Pegs group at Base 25, which is centred around supporting young people who have, or are awaiting, a neurodiverse diagnosis. This take on animal therapy is designed to provide a calming environment for all young people, however studies have suggested that the impact on neurodiverse children shows that guinea pigs not only give them feelings of joy and happiness, but also aids in decreasing stress levels and having a long term effect.

Thank you very much Monica, Rachel and Meiko, stay tuned for the next visit!

🌟Exploitation Awareness Week 🌟

Alongside partners from the Local Authority, Community Safety, ASB, Catch 22, and The Way, we’ve been working to raise awareness about Exploitation in our community.

Our Exploitation & Domestic Abuse Co-ordinator, Jennie Watton, spent time at Asda on Jack Hayward Way and Waterloo Road on Tuesday, engaging directly with local residents, by sharing vital information we’re helping the community play an active role in creating safer spaces for children and young people and helping disrupt Exploitation.

Together, we can make a difference. 💙
