Community
Working with local partners we respond to local needs and draw on the strengths of the amazing communities who we work with. Much of our work is based in local neighbourhoods, Seacroft, Gipton, Harehills, Beeston, Chapeltown and Meanwood in Leeds and BD7 in Bradford. Our community courses are offered free of charge.
On our 8 week courses participants can expect;
- Trauma informed sessions
- Co-production of the sessions with the group e.g. emphasis on chronic pain, mental wellbeing, bereavement
- A mix of activities and practices which teach tools, knowledge and skills to support wellbeing including short meditations
- Time for building and strengthening connections
- The use of images and enactments to communicate ideas in an inclusive way
- Mindful movement
- Accessible resources to use at home
