Helping residents get involved with fitness sessions at Knightstone House
We have been working with residents at Knightstone House in Weston-super-Mare to help them get involved with events. Working with the Resident Events Group, our Community Investment team ran a consultation to find out what events residents would like to get involved with.
The consultation revealed residents wanted to try some fitness classes, so an instructor was arranged to visit weekly to hold some trial sessions. These were enjoyed by those who went, and we are working with the group to help organise future fitness activities.
Mind Aid group sessions
Mind Aid North Somerset are holding a range of workshops to help young people struggling with stress, anxiety, low mood, or depression.
The workshops will look at what can cause these feelings, learn how to manage them, and meet other people.
Find out more about the workshops and view the schedule.
Toy swaps
Our community investment team have continued to run pop-up toy swaps in our communities. These swap have helped to provide families with much needed toys, with some incredibly generous donations of some wonderful items.
Plumley Court exercise sessions
Residents at Plumley Court in Weston-super-Mare have been enjoying taking part in low impact exercises, which our Community Investment team have helped to organise.
Energy vouchers for customers
We have helped customers secure energy vouchers, helping to make a big difference over winter. Our Grants team work with customers and partners to get grants from local foundations, which can help to ease concerns about using heating or energy for cooking. If you need support with energy, please get in touch with our teams who can help.
