Hi-de-Hi!

Raleigh Street Project

15th September 2008

 

Service Users from the Raleigh Street Teenage Parents project will be going on a week long holiday to Butlins in Skegness this September.

 

The proceeds raised throughout the year for their social fund, from activities such as ’Let us Bring you Lunch’  (see above) will pay for them and their children to have this well-deserved break.

 

There is an array of activities for all ages at this well-established holiday resort, which was the first ever Butlins to be built back in 1936. From the flumes of Waterworld to the inland beach and from ballet classes to street dance lessons, there really is something for everyone and they are all guaranteed to have a fantastic time!

 

Nottingham Mental Health Awareness Weeks

The 16th annual Notingham Mental Health Awareness Weeks is happening this October and will take place from the 5th to the 17th to coincide with World Mental Health Day on the 10th October, which is celebrated in over 100 countries!

 

The events aim to reduce stigma and ignorance and to help promote a greater understanding of mental health. The weeks are coordinated by the local multi-agency Mental Health Awareness Project.

 

Last years events included an arts and crafts exhibition, a film festival, theatre performances, lots of workshops and seminars and a photography competition. Click here for more information on last years events.

 

This years events promise to be just as varied - watch this space for more information!
