Hi to everyone.
My name is Sharon Bates and I am the community activities coordinator at Folkestone Mind Resource Centre.
As always we have an exciting variety of great activities occurring in the community as well as on centre. April/ Mays programme of community events includes horse riding, walking and regular visits to the gym. We will also be visiting the lovely seaside town of Broadstairs and enjoying a fantastic vintage train journey through carpets of bluebells at Bredgar and Wormshill railway.
To cut a long story short we are always planning exciting things to do and since there is no greater feeling than the sense of achievement we gain when contributing to something worthwhile we are looking forward to getting out our spades again in 2010 for conservation work! Last year we were out there with the team in January but we were not so brave this winter!
There are so many things to get involved in at our centre too from music to woodwork to art and sewing. We really do pride ourselves on offering a wide range of different activities and experiences that will appeal to different people.
All these things are geared to make us feel fitter, healthier, more fulfilled, more confident and happier. We would all like to improve our quality of life and you don’t need to be a member to benefit from our organisation. Everyone is welcome to come and join us at our centre for a free course of coping with life skills. These six week classes start on Tuesday 4th May 2010 10.30am- 12.30pm and anyone can come providing they have enrolled.
Our centre is a great place for meeting friendly people and trying new things out. Many of our members will testify that there is never a dull moment here and our aim is ensure that every month is packed with an array of wonderful things to look forward to!
Folkestone and District Mind provide services which aim to improve the quality of life of people with mental health issues. Our service is available to any Shepway resident who is experiencing or has in the past experienced mental health problems. You can apply for membership by self referral or via your GP, Community Mental Health Team or Social Services. If you would like to talk to us about membership or the free life skills course in May here are our details. Look forward to telling you what we have been getting up to in May!
