VOLUNTEERS NEEDED – MONDAY 🎨🛠️

If anyone has a few hours free on Monday and would like to help, we’ll be at our new home at Heath Campus, Halifax getting the centre ready to open.

I’ll be there from 10:00am, and we’d really appreciate an extra pair of hands with painting and a few general jobs around the centre.

If you’re able to help, even for a couple of hours, please drop me a message. Thank you so much for your support. 🤍

We’re in at Heath Campus and we’re having a paint day! 🎨

We’ve got a massive task ahead to get our new home ready for our classes, counseling services, and all the support programs we run. We need to get three rooms painted to have everything finished and ready for next week, and we’re really feeling the time crunch.

We’re reaching out to our community to see if anyone can donate a little time to help us out. We’re planning a paint day next Monday, and it would be amazing to have you join us. Don't worry if you’re not a pro with a paintbrush—it’s all about getting stuck in together on a brilliant community project. Whether you can spare an hour or the whole day, any extra hands and energy will make a huge difference.

We are also trying to pull together some supplies to get this done. If you happen to have any spare white emulsion, rollers, brushes, or gloss lying around that you wouldn't mind donating, we would be incredibly grateful.

We’ll be starting around 10:00. If you can make it, or if you can help us out with any supplies, please drop us a message for the details.

Thank you so much to everyone who helps us get these doors open.

We’re building a new home for the community—and we need your help! 🏠🔑
After 12 months of hard work, we have officially secured the new home for the Athletic Minds Foundation. This is one of our biggest announcements yet—this building is going to be a massive community ecosystem dedicated to providing essential support across the board.
What we are bringing to the centre:
Our Core Programs: The 8-week program and our free professional counselling service, including dedicated support for families.
Empowerment & Support Groups: We are introducing our new HER program, designed to empower women navigating difficult times, along with dedicated menopausal and pre-menopausal workshops and support groups.
Family & Youth Focus: We are creating a family community support centre featuring dedicated kids clubs and family clubs.
Comprehensive Services: We are providing su***de intervention and prevention, loss and grief support, and debt management and gambling support and advice.
A Collaborative Community Hub: Beyond our own services, this space is designed as a collaborative ecosystem to support other charities and organizations. We are opening our doors for others to join us, run their own classes, and work alongside us so we can provide a bigger, wider range of support for everyone.
Activity Space: The centre includes dedicated office areas and will host over 50 weekly classes, including yoga, Pilates, art classes, and community walks, alongside a wide range of other programs.
How you can be part of the vision:
We need your help to turn this space into a functional hub for the community. We are currently looking for:
Resources: If you have any office tables, chairs, or furniture you’d like to donate.
Logistics: Access to a van to help us move our equipment.
Time & Energy: Volunteers to help us paint and prep the space.
Skills: If you have time to offer, we’d love to have you on the team.
This is a massive undertaking, but with your help, we can create something that will make a real difference for our community.
Watch our live video above for a tour of the space and to hear more about the vision.
If you can help, please comment below or send me a direct message. Even if you can’t donate time or items, please share this post—you never know who in your network might have that spare van or a few hours to help paint!
Let’s build this together.

Mental Health Awareness Week: Taking the Next Step

Awareness is a vital starting point, but the theme for this week is action.

At Athletic Minds Foundation, we believe that identifying a struggle is the first step toward a solution. We are here to provide the professional support needed to turn those initial conversations into lasting progress.

Our charity is built on a foundation of diverse, actionable solutions. We provide a full portfolio of support because we know that everyone’s path to healing is different. Whether it is professional one-to-one therapy, structured fitness and movement programs, or psychoeducation to help you understand your own patterns, we have the tools in place to help you move forward.

We offer a safe and structured environment for those facing anxiety, depression, trauma, and grief. By combining clinical counselling with physical wellbeing and community support, we ensure that you have a comprehensive roadmap for recovery.

Talking about mental health is essential, but having a professional infrastructure to back up that talk is what creates real change. No judgment, just real support.

Check the link in our bio to see our full range of services and find out how we can support you today.

Following on from HER 🌿💜

Over the last 8 weeks, a small group of incredible women have been on a powerful journey of self-development, healing, and self-discovery. This was only the beginning of the next chapter and we are extremely proud to be able to continue supporting them as they step into Becoming HER.

What’s been so special to witness is how this space has grown beyond the course itself, becoming a community of women who choose to empower and uplift one another through encouragement, honesty, connection, and shared healing.

Since completing the course, they have continued to walk alongside one another building deeper connections, supporting each other through growth, and embracing the women they are becoming.

This is what our charity is built upon, supporting wellbeing, connection, healing, and personal growth… one step at a time 🌿💜

As we step into a new month, May is a time of renewal, growth, and new beginnings.

At this point, we just want to pause and say a heartfelt thank you to everyone who continues to support our charity. To those who follow our journey, volunteer their time, attend our centre, donate, or simply share kind words and encouragement, you are all part of this community.

Every small act of support helps us continue to create a safe, welcoming space for people to connect, heal, and grow.

As we move through May, we’re embracing the fresh energy and sense of possibility it brings, and we’re looking forward with real excitement for what we can continue to create together. Thank you for being part of it all 🌿🤍

💜🌿 HER Programme – Week 8

This week marked the final session of our HER Self-Development Programme, bringing together everything we’ve explored over the past 8 weeks.

In Week 8, we:
Reflected on our journey and recapped key learnings from each week
Celebrated personal growth, insight, and progress
Set SMART goals to support continued development beyond the programme

It has been an incredible 8 weeks, and a true honour and privilege to walk alongside these amazing women. Watching them support one another, build genuine connections, and form meaningful friendships has been truly inspiring.

The feedback shared was incredibly moving, showing just how much growth, courage, and connection has developed within the group

A huge thank you again to The National Lottery and its players, as this programme would not have been possible without this incredible funding. Your support continues to make a real difference in the lives of women in our community. 🤍🌿💜

💜🌿 HER Programme – Week 7

As we near the end of our HER Self-Development Programme, this week marked Week 7 of our journey together.

In today’s session, we explored:

The Window of Tolerance, understanding how our nervous system responds to stress and how we can recognise when we feel regulated or overwhelmed

Reframing, learning how to gently challenge and shift unhelpful thought patterns

People Pleasing, exploring patterns of over-giving, boundaries, and how this can impact our wellbeing

It was another powerful and reflective session. Watching these incredible women continue to grow, support one another, and step into their strength has been truly inspiring

A huge thank you again to The National Lottery Community Fund for supporting this programme and creating opportunities for women in our community 🤍🌿💜
