Tomorow we have cause to celebrate a milestone!
It's been 3 years since Night Light Cafe - Market Rasen began offering non-clinical out of hours mental health support to any adult finding life difficult.
It's such a privilege to sit alongside people, listening without judgement, and signposting to further support where appropriate. Along the way, a wonderful little community has grown together, where everyone is welcome whether it's their 1st time through the doors or they've been coming since the 1st week we opened. Friendships have developed into a network that looks out for each other day to day.
It hasn't happened by accident - and that's thanks to my fabulous team of volunteers past and present who have worked tirelessly to create a calm, welcoming environment where people feel safe enough to relax, find some mindful activities, and share their burdens over endless cuppas and snacks.
Huge thanks to everyone who has supported us in any way over the last 3 years - it means a lot, and you've brought hope and purpose to people's lives because of it.
If you think you might like to volunteer with us then get in touch via our parents organisation at https://www.actstrust.org.uk/get-involved/ and specify "Night Light Cafes" as the project.
If you're finding life challenging right now, then you'll be very welcome to drop in any Monday at any time between 6pm to 9pm at St Thomas's Church Rooms on the Marketplace. No referral or diagnosis needed, you just need to be aged 18 or over.
