This afternoon, we met with several other organisations and professionals to discuss how we could better the mental health support on offer across the City, as well as how we could boost attendance at these groups. It was great to all meet face-to-face and lots of ideas were shared, including a potential evening supper club!... Read More

Annie & Bryony attended the fantastic launch of ‘Dementia Friendly Southampton’ today, at St. Mary’s Stadium. We are in the process of signing up to be a dementia friendly charity too – whoop!

We applied to the Woodroffe Benton Foundation late last year with great hope that they would support a new application. We’re so pleased that the Foundation has decided our work worthy of their funding and will ensure to put the £1,000 they’ve sent us to good use!

Emily attended a Southampton City Council grants consultation at Southampton Voluntary Services this morning. A few members of their team came to discuss possible changes to grant funding across the City and to take lots of local organisation’s view, opinions and concerns on board.

Just a quick message to say that we’re now back in the office, despite a -5 degrees start this morning! We’ve come in to lots of messages so please bear with us as we sort through them all. Hope you had a lovely Christmas/New Year break! From, The Communicare Team
