💙 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲𝗹𝗼𝗻𝗴 𝗟𝗲𝗮𝗿𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘄𝗶𝘁𝗵 𝗪𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗯𝗲𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗟𝗶𝗳𝗲

Learning new skills can improve your mental wellbeing by:

- boosting your self-confidence
- helping build a sense of purpose
- connecting you with others.

We deliver our sessions in community venues, online, and we can come to you.

One of our upcoming sessions is An Insight into Menopause. Recently we have had some feedback from a participant of a previous session:

“[A] fantastic, engaging speaker. I was worried at first when a male came on the screen, but I was pleasantly surprised at his knowledge both personally and professionally. He put me at ease straight away and I felt comfortable talking about such a personal issue.”

All our training and awareness sessions are funded by Durham County Council and free to attend for anyone living or working in County Durham.

💚 𝗠𝗮𝗰𝗺𝗶𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗻 𝗝𝗼𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗼𝘁𝘀 has been supporting an elderly gentleman living with prostate cancer. To help with his mobility and personal care issues, his home had a stairlift and wet room installed. Both unfortunately were damaged and past their warranty.

Our team liaised with an Occupational Therapist, and a review of the issues and the gentleman’s needs was carried out. Because of this, he is now having a new wet room and stairlift installed at his home.

We’re so pleased to have been able to assist with this, as the gentleman said he’d been trying to get by for some years. This will make a massive improvement to his home life and independence.
