Launching an exciting and innovative two-year Stress and Anxiety Management Programme with a difference to address the increasing mental health challenges faced by individuals.
The programme will provide structured monthly 4 hour workshops where 15 participants will receive expert advice, create action plans to reduce stress and anxiety, and engage in holistic and creative activities such as relaxation therapies, photography walks, and nature outings.
Alongside personal development, participants will take part in meaningful community actions, including banked volunteer hours collecting and distributing clothing and food for the homeless and litter picking.
This combination of therapeutic workshops and purposeful banked hours volunteer activities is designed to help participants not only manage their own wellbeing but also builds a sense of connection and fulfilment. We know this works!
Aims to make a significant difference by addressing the root causes of stress and anxiety, empowering individuals to develop resilience and practical tools for long-term mental health management. Reducing mental health crisis and filling the long gap for NHS treatment. By involving participants in charitable activities, the project will encourage a sense of purpose, help the environment litter picking and social connection, shown to reduce symptoms of anxiety.
The initiative will also support the homeless, providing essential resources to an estimated 200 individuals annually through collection drives. Over the two years, our workshops will reach 120 participants and train 10 volunteers, creating a broad and meaningful impact across multiple community groups.
We were beyond honoured to have our workshops officially opened by a true legend — Weston Super Man of White Shades Media CIC. A cherished community icon whose presence brought energy, recognition, and heart to our project launch.

Calm Together-Workshops Highlights
Across recent sessions, participants have explored a wide range of stress-relief techniques designed to support emotional and physical wellbeing.
Each workshop includes a mix of activities such as guided meditations, psychological tools for managing stress, mindful eating exercises (yes – the banana gets eaten!), and gentle movement. Participants have also benefited from relaxing therapies like Indian head massage, reflexology, and neck-shoulder-back massage.
As part of our practical approach, attendees have the opportunity to engage with a Stress Management Inventory – a reflective tool to help understand personal stress levels and identify areas for growth.
Workshops are rounded off with time to connect over refreshments, and everyone receives take-home resources including our Calm Together tip leaflets and wellbeing journals to support continued self-care between sessions.
We’re proud to offer a safe, welcoming space where people can come together to unwind and recharge.
