An NHS grant – and we’re still going !

Exciting News from NHS Tees Esk Valley Wear Trust!🌟

I recently discovered a valuable resource on the NHS TEWV site that highlights the importance of community support through grants like these. 🙌

These grants, backed by our regional community mental health team, allow us to make a significant impact in our communities. 

But why is this important?

Thanks to this impact of sessions delivered with this grant, we were able to extend our initiatives with an additional six-month project, showcasing our work at Easingwold Community Library. This exposure helped us reach even more individuals and spread awareness about mental health.

And here’s the best part: our group is still thriving! 🎉

We transitioned to a WhatsApp group, wonderfully facilitated by our participant Sophie. Each month, she nominates a member to choose a theme, and we share our photographic responses together. This is community co-creation at its finest!

We also gather when we can, most recently for a mindfulness day at Hey House, Baxby Manor. 

Excitingly, we have another meetup planned in June for a mindful photography day at Newburgh Priory.

We’re feeling grateful for the support and connection within our community. Let’s keep shining together! ✨
