Mission

Loneliness, anxiety, depression and mental health issues are rising steadily in the UK. How can we help ourselves to: Better manage our mental health? Approach and manage our lives with a well-being focus? Build a support community around ourselves? We’ve developed a course that students tell us improves their health and well-being. Their self-confidence and their relationships. Their motivation and communication skills. That they come away feeling more relaxed and more in control of their lives. Within a group of friends comfortable to talk well-being together. The course is delivered weekly ‘live’ online throughout the academic year in one-hour sessions. Content sessions are alternated with reflection sessions – turning the learning into personal growth. This is how we get results. I have been delivering the course as a volunteer for St Mungo's (ending homelessness, rebuilding lives) for over two years now. I want to bring it to a wider audience - e.g. neighbourhood projects, colleges

Poverty Alleviation

Additional Information

There isn't a category that fits well, so I like to think of it as well-being poverty alleviation :-). I'm working with Enterprise Steps to set up (most likely to go with Community Interest Company structure - but it partly depends on where it 'lands' best). Hoping to reach out to local communities or colleges or Universities pan UK I have a few pages of website. I have marketing and study materials. I have LinkedIn a/c and Twitter/Insta. These all have different branding and I need help to align them. It's not my skill area - I would really welcome some help?
