We’re in the Bolton Open Art Exhibition! 🥳

Massive congratulations to Phil, Gavin, and everybody involved! So well deserved!

Ahem… coughs... 📜

We’d also like to thank our family and friends, everyone who supports our work in mental health, our amazing community, our dogs, our cats, the neighbours who put up with us, people we went to school with (even the ones who didn’t get us), our supporters, our followers… and most of all, the version of us that kept going on the hard days 💚

Oh... and Dave’s pet rat 🐀

Great attendance at Monday’s afternoon quiz!

Thank you to everyone who joined in! Anthony took the win and even though he’d already headed off, we later got a lovely smile from him when he found out 🏆🙂

Could you be tomorrow's quiz master? See you at 10am!

We had a great day promoting our service at the University of Greater Manchester’s Health and Wellbeing event on Thursday.

Kylie, Shirley, and Gavin did a fantastic job networking and engaging with our Bolton community. They even got to meet Bear the therapy dog, who was definitely a highlight of the day! 🐶💚

A big thank you to everyone who stopped by to chat with our team!
