🌺 What a wonderful day for our Mental Health Group! 🌺

Today’s session was full of reflection, creativity, and kindness.
We came together to honour Remembrance Day by making beautiful poppy biscuits — a small but meaningful way to remember and show gratitude for those who served. ❤️

We also celebrated World Kindness Day (coming up on the 13th!) by creating heartfelt kindness cards to share with others. It was amazing to see everyone spreading positivity and reminding each other that even small acts of kindness can make a big difference. 💌✨

Thank you to everyone who joined us today — your warmth, compassion, and creativity make this group so special. 💚

Let’s keep the kindness going all week long! 🌍💫

🌿 Our Mental Health Group Was a Success! 🌿

A huge thank you to everyone who came out and made our mental health group such an amazing experience! 💚 We had some great conversations about stress — what causes it, how it affects us, and healthy ways to cope.

Everyone also got hands-on and made their very own stress balls to take home! 🫶✨

It was a wonderful group of sharing, learning, and supporting one another. We can’t wait to see you all next Tuesday we will be celebrating Remembrance Day and world kindness day. Find us at Bolton central library Tuesdays 11:30 to 1:30 💬💪

🌿 Chronic Illness Awareness 🌿

Not every illness is visible. Not every battle is seen. 💚

Living with a chronic illness means fighting a body that doesn’t always cooperate — while still showing up, working, caring for others, and trying to live a full life. It’s the fatigue that sleep doesn’t fix, the pain that medicine can’t fully take away, and the daily challenges that most people never see.

💬 Be kind.
💬 Be patient.
💬 Believe people when they say they’re struggling — even if they “look fine.”

Today, we’re honored to share a powerful video from one of our lovely clients Marney who battles chronic illness every single day. 🎥💚

Her story is a reminder of the strength, courage, and hope that shine even in the toughest moments.

Let’s keep raising awareness, spreading compassion, and supporting those living with chronic illness. You are seen. You are not alone. 💪💚
