Wellbeing fridays crowdfunding

19/3/2021

 
I am raising money for a charitable cause that is very important to me so please donate and help me reach my target of £600 in aid of The Burrough Harmony Centre (Harmony) 
Harmony is a local mental health support group based in Bridport, West Dorset, of which I am a Trustee. They provide a friendly, welcoming, comfortable space with informal sessions offering peer support, information, signposting and activities to local people who are living with a mental health problem. They also run the local Community Front Room for anyone reaching a mental health crisis who needs a non judgmental, safe space to talk and be listened to. 
The pandemic has had a big impact on people’s mental health and wellbeing. As part of their programme Harmony plan to start Wellbeing sessions offering a range of activities to support local people who struggle with their mental wellbeing. They plan to bring in bring in tutors to do one off wellbeing therapy sessions across such activities as yoga, art, music, creative writing, nutrition to support coming out of lockdown.
Anything you can contribute towards helping me achieve my target will be massively appreciated.
Many thanks
Alison Cliffe
on behalf of The Burrough Harmony Centre

It will offer a range of opportunities that fosters wellbeing and increase understanding about the issues carers face and the support available including guidance on protecting your mental health as a carer as well as peer support.

The Burrough Harmony Centre are grateful for a number of donations we have received over the Christmas period.

They were very impressed to hear about the work we carry out and enjoyed seeing the premises. 

The Cornish Bakery in West Bay remained open during the Christmas period to support people who were by themselves during this time.
It can be the loneliness time for some, but this year was particularly hard for many, being separated from family and friends during such anxious and challenging times. Being there, being kind and giving a smile can have a positive impact on people’s wellbeing and mental health.  During this time they and their customers raised money for Harmony and kindly donated £254.
Following the Mayor's Christmas blog we have also received donations from others to support the work we do at Harmony making a difference to our community mental health and wellbeing.
