🎬 New Short Film Premiere! 🌟

We’re thrilled to share something truly special with you…..

Our charity has been working tirelessly for 14 years to improve the lives of people in our community living with mental health challenges—and now, we are delighted that thanks to the wonderful film and editing skills of the lovely Paul Gregory, you can see just a glimpse of the journey and the impact we are so proud to be making.

This short film tells the stories of hope, resilience, and the power of connection.

It’s a celebration of the incredible individuals we support and the difference we can make together; Paul has captured it beautifully and between you and me, it made us all quite emotional.

Thank you to everyone who played their part, no matter how big or small, but particular thanks must go to Emma and Lisa who are both amazing, inspirational ladies 🥰

👉 Watch the film and join us in creating a brighter future for mental health in our community.
