12 Hour Danceathon!!
Okehampton, Devon, United Kingdom
Aim
We are going to complete a 12 hour dancethon as a staff team to raise money for our community hub The Well-being Cafe!
The Well-being Cafe opened in 2022 and is providing a community hub for those in and around Okehampton. This idea of this is to provide a space where people can go who are struggling with their mental health & well-being and to provide a community hub where people could meet friends and access practical support. The café offers support to all members of the community in Okehampton and the surrounding hamlets.
We currently support over 100 people each week in our community from ages 10 - 90! We see over 40 teenagers accessing our youth support & over 60 adults accessing our day to day support.
Testimonials
Has your well-being improved by spending time in the café? Definitely, after losing my husband who was my best friend and my world it was hard to join in again but this café has been a complete life line!
The Well-being Café isn’t just a café for me. It is a safe place. The staff don’t do regular support work, every single one of them has helped me with every single issue I have had. I know that it is not just a job for them, they truly care and I see that in every single member of staff here. They’ve made calls they didn’t have and stayed late just to make sure I was ok. I have been to so many support networks and charities but none like this. I will be forever grateful.
This Well-being Café is an amazing escape for me. There have been many a time I have been so hungry and if not for this café, would have gone days without eating. I have had a lot of problems but the staff never judge. Thank-you guys for all you do.
