WELCOME to this month’s newsletter, bringing youhealth & wellbeing updates, resource links, and spotlightingour community wellness.
Joyful June is here! This month is a great reminder to focus on cultivating happiness and wellbeing in our lives. Even when things are tough, there are ways to find pockets of positivity. Here are a few tips to get you started, but be sure to drop into our sessions as each session embeds the following to explore further:
Take ‘Pride’ in your accomplishments, big or small, can boost your self-esteem and contribute to positive mental health.
Connect with Others: Spend time with loved ones, join a club, or volunteer in your community as ‘Team Work Makes the Dream Work’ provides us with a sense of belonging, social identity and emotional security. These networks offer us a place to share experiences, emotions and frustrations, we can also receive feedback, advice and empathy, helping us feel less alone.
Self-Compassion is a fundamental aspect of our emotional wellbeing and personal growth. It involves treating ourselves with kindness, acceptance and understanding, especially during times of difficulty or self perceived flaws.
Inspiration plays a cruicial role in improving mental health by awakening individuals to new possibilities, transcending limitations and propelling them from apathy to possibility. Inspiration is a driving fore towards helping us achieve the goals we want in life.

Our Personal Challenge: Snowdon was a massive success, with 7 climbing 1085 meters to the summit. This is the 6th year in a row for this annual challenge, and luckily the 5th time full of glourious! This is the 1st year we have offered an alternative, with a blissful beach exploration for the less adventurous.
Our Table Top Jumble Sale was a resounding success! This wouldn’t have been possible without the incredible generosity of our donors and to our volunteers who helped out on the day. Also, our Junior Motivators who are working towards their Duke of Edinburgh did an amazing job. The proceeds will directly fund our counselling services.
The next Table Top Event is on Sat 22nd of June, don’t forget to mark it on your calendar.
