Funding Update
Like many charities and organisations of all shapes and sizes we have experienced some tough times, have worked hard to respond to change and have supported more people than ever before, all during a time in which we faced an uncertain financial future.
However, change provided us with the chance to re-evaluate, adapt our ways of working, learn new skills and seek and embrace opportunities and for us that is priceless. Whilst we still have much work to do to close our funding gap for 2022 and beyond, we have recently received some fantastic news, not just for us as a team for but the people of Nottingham
We are absolutely delighted to be able to share that we have been awarded a multi year grant from The National Lottery Community Fund We will be able to launch a new project which staff and service users decided to call ‘Your Journey’ which will allow us to support 300 people in the city over 3 years beginning March 2022. People successfully referred to the project will receive tailored 1-2-1 support and access to a host of activity and wellbeing groups with the aim to reduce isolation, improve physical and mental health and increase independence and financial security for those living with long term mental health conditions.
Thank you to everyone who has, and continues to support our mission to ensure people living with mental health issues in Nottingham can believe that life can change for the better.
