Foundation Believe in offering support to women
Foundation of Light is proud to announce the launch of its dedicated women’s mental health group, Believe.
Social isolation is not just a problem for the older generation. It can impact all of us, especially when restrictions mean that the time with friends and relatives is limited to phones and video calls.“By donating just £1, you will help us ensure that those who need our support can continue to access life-changing programmes, maintaining their social connections and interactions and ensuring they stay mentally and physically healthy within their own homes.” The award-winning ‘Give a Quid’ campaign was first launched in March 2019 and has raised over £50,000 to support a range of projects across the North East. Give a Quid helped to fund the UK’s first Mental Health Matchday Hub, an informal drop-in centre which provides home and away fans access to trained counsellors on SAFC match days, at the Beacon of Light. The Hub is coordinated by the SAFC Supporters Branch Liaison Council, with support from Washington Mind. The campaign also helped to support day time activities for older people in the Beacon of Light before the COVID-19 pandemic, engaging participants in activities as diverse as ukulele playing, cooking, walks and bowls. The Foundation is also running a very special online auction to help raise critical funds for the campaign. Showcasing a range of SAFC signed merchandise as well as luxury overnight stays, afternoon teas and family photography sessions up for grabs, take a look to find the perfect present for your loved one this year.
