The first good news of the month was a terrific grant of £25,000 from the Postcode Society Trust that was made possible thanks to players of the People’s Postcode Lottery.
We were delighted with the turnout and publicity we received for our Golden Steps 5k New Forest Walk in September – it was a tremendous success! The weather was kind to us and it was great that some of our Outreach clients joined us.
Hammersley Homes is hosting our first-ever charity walk, the Golden Steps Walk! This family-friendly event aims to raise awareness about mental illness and provide vital support to those experiencing isolation. We welcome participants of all ages and abilities.
Our outreach volunteers are the heart of our charity, without their generosity and kindness we would not be able to offer such an amazing service to our members.
We are thrilled to announce the expansion of our amazing Outreach Programme! Thanks to the generous support of the National Lottery Community Fund, we have recently welcomed two fantastic new Outreach Home Visitors to the team.
We had an amazing time at the Student Volunteer Fair on Wednesday 15th February, organised by the Bournemouth University Students Union.
Hammersley Homes' 2024 goal: This year we aim to host more fundraising events and concentrate our funding on working towards building our first Hammersley Home. What's yours?
We celebrate our volunteers here at Hammersley Homes at every opportunity, but the importance of volunteers across the globe came into focus for Louise during her frightful experience of the earthquakes that took place in Morocco in September.
Our stand at the New Forest Show this year was a fabulous success, even with the weather being pretty grim – but the crowds came, nevertheless. We hosted a quiz to raise awareness of the effect of mental illness on our communities, and it garnered a great deal of interest – particularly with a week of indulgence at a fully-staffed Riad in Morocco as the tempting prize to enter our quiz draw!
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.
