How can we do this?
PEER SUPPORT GROUP
We run a Group session every Wednesday evening from 7:30pm-9:30pm. In this session we all talk about how we are doing and how our weeks have been and support each other where necessary. We have free tea and coffee and biscuits for the members. We do not charge for the service although we ask for a small donation for the church but this is not compulsory. We do have guest speakers who come in some weeks to talk about things that may help the members ie yoga, knitting.
FUNDRAISING
Fundraising is a crucial part of keeping The Life Support group running.Â
We host numerous Fund raising events throughout the year.
Our members help to organise and run these events and have been a huge success..
VOLUNTEERING
At The Life Support Group, we are dedicated to stepping up our efforts in addressing the stigma around Mental Health. Through cooperation and community empowerment we believe we can facilitate progress in this area. We are always striving to make a difference, and invite you to learn more and lend your support.
People don't always need advice...sometimes all they really need is a hand to hold, an ear to listen and a heart to understand them.
