Hammersley Homes newsletters and charity reports
We are eager to share with you all of the things that have been going on at Hammersley Homes this month and the exciting things we have in store just around the corner.
We are delighted to have expanded our Outreach Service into the Winchester area and are now working closely with the local Community Mental Health Teams there. Winchester University is proving to be a wonderful source of volunteers to work with us and we are extremely grateful to those of you that have joined the team.
As part of our Halloween celebrations, we embarked on a pumpkin-themed adventure with some of our Outreach clients. Whilst the pumpkin pyramid and spooky skeletons might have sent a shiver down their spines, they had a brilliant time exploring the local community and spending time with our lovely volunteers.
We had a wonderful time exhibiting at the New Forest Show for the first time. It was a great opportunity to showcase the work that we are doing with our Hammersley Homes Project and celebrate the success that we have seen. We met so many great people who shared our vision and we will definitely be back next year!
We are very grateful to Age Unlimited who have supported us yet again this year, with a grant of £5,000 for the second year running, to expand our ever-growing and successful Outreach Programme.
We are very excited to finally be moving in to our new offices in Lymington! After a long wait and lots of hard work from the team, we hope to have unpacked, set up and settled in by the end of June.
From the 9th - 15th May it is Mental Health Awareness Week. This year, the theme is loneliness, something that we can all relate to after the Covid-19 pandemic. It said that loneliness and poor social connections are as bad for your health as smoking 15 cigarettes a day... so it's time to start talking about it.
Here at Hammersley Homes we are launching a huge campaign to raise awareness of the huge numbers of people affected by the day to day struggles faced by those suffering with mental illness, and raise £300,000 for the deposit we need to purchase a property for our first Hammersley Home.
