It was a fantastic coffee morning yesterday! A great opportunity to come together, connect, and enjoy some time as a community.

A big thank you to Frank from Spar Cavehill for the generous donation of goodies, and to Amy from Bluebell Café on the Cavehill Road for the delicious scones kindly provided for Emma.

We really appreciate your support in helping make the morning so special.

We’re incredibly grateful to .byrne.holistic for delivering such a powerful breathwork session for our staff 🌿

Our team works across the community and voluntary sector, consistently going above and beyond to support service users, so it was truly special to have the space to pause, reset, and focus on our own wellbeing.

The breathwork experience was both uplifting and eye-opening, highlighting just how essential self-care is in the work we do. Sinead created a warm, welcoming, and accepting environment that allowed everyone to fully relax and benefit from the session.

Thank you, Sinead, for such a meaningful and restorative experience

During our Future ARCH session focused on music and its benefits in recovery, our participant Carolyn brought her guitar and shared her musical talent with us. We were truly impressed by her skill and her bravery in performing comfortably within the group. She played a few songs and explained how music has become a significant part of her life. She dedicated "Wonderwall" to the group, expressing that they represent her "wonderwall" and that she has finally found her peer support.
