Supporting Mental and Emotional Wellbeing

Aim

What if the only thing standing between someone and the support they desperately need is the money to access it? Help us change that. 💚

Blessings in Action – Small Acts of Kindness. Life-Changing Impact.

Help us raise £5,000 to continue bringing hope, wellbeing and opportunities to people who need them most.

 Our Story – Turning Personal Struggles into Hope for Others

Blessings in Action CIC was born from a deeply personal experience.

Our founder experienced sudden, overwhelming stress and anxiety. When she needed support most, affordable and accessible help simply wasn't there. Medication wasn't an option, and alternative, non-pharmaceutical support was financially out of reach.

Through determination, hard work and finding her own path to recovery, she realised something important:

Nobody should have to face difficult times alone or miss out on support simply because they cannot afford it.

That experience became the inspiration behind Blessings in Action CIC - a volunteer-led, not-for-profit community organisation dedicated to making wellbeing, inclusion, creativity and meaningful support accessible to those who might otherwise go without.

Today, we support neurodivergent children, vulnerable adults, families, refugees, people experiencing homelessness and individuals facing isolation, disadvantage or emotional difficulties.

Our vision is simple: a community where everyone feels valued, supported and included, regardless of their circumstances.

Real People. Real Stories. Real Impact.

Behind every workshop, activity and project is a real person whose life can change for the better.

Sometimes, the smallest opportunities create the most meaningful transformations.

 Finding Confidence Through Creativity

One participant in our Street View Arts project shared:

"I can't read or write much, and this is making such difference. I can't wait to be able to show my family what I have achieved/created."

Their artwork is set to be exhibited at Weston Museum, providing an opportunity to experience pride, recognition and a sense of achievement.

Imagine what it means to someone who has faced barriers throughout their life to see their own creativity celebrated in a museum!

 Finding Calm When Life Feels Overwhelming

Through our Calm Together project, we provide accessible wellbeing opportunities, including therapeutic massage sessions and psychology-led workshops.

After a massage session, one participant shared:

"I feel so relax. Can't even talk or walk. Absolutely relaxed."

Another participant said:

"The psychologist is very knowledgeable in her field and her calming nature helps you into a deep state of relaxation."

These experiences demonstrate how valuable moments of calm, care and support can be, especially for people who might otherwise struggle to access such services.

 Building Confidence, Fitness and Connection

Through our Hike for Hope, yoga and physical activity programmes, we've supported individuals who previously had little or no opportunity to be physically active.

One participant described how attending regular yoga sessions gradually helped them become more committed to physical activity while improving their fitness.

Others have shared how being active together helped not only their physical wellbeing but also their mental health and sense of belonging.

Creating Joyful Childhood Memories

Our Little Blessings programme provides inclusive opportunities for neurodivergent children to explore creativity, develop confidence and express their emotions.

One child told us:

"It's fun, I never want to leave."

We've witnessed children becoming more confident, developing self-esteem and finding new ways to communicate their feelings.

Our family fitness fun days have also brought parents and children together through laughter, movement and shared experiences.

 A Place Where Everyone Belongs

For someone experiencing loneliness or isolation, simply finding a welcoming place can mean everything.

As one participant shared:

"I live on my own, it's difficult. And it's just such a welcoming place, feeling held and cared for."

These aren't just workshops. They're moments of hope, achievement, connection and belonging.

Look What We've Achieved Together!

With the dedication of our volunteers, community partners and supporters, Blessings in Action has already made a meaningful difference.

Our achievements include:

•  Over 430 people reached and supported

•  82 workshops delivered

•  34 community partnerships developed

•  More than 1,700 volunteer hours contributed

Our projects also support local artists, wellbeing practitioners, facilitators and small businesses, helping strengthen the wider community.

Behind these achievements is a small team of passionate volunteer directors and supporters who give their time, energy, professional skills and compassion to help others.

We work tirelessly behind the scenes, developing projects, securing funding, building partnerships and organising opportunities for people who might otherwise be left behind.

We may be a small organisation, but together, we are creating a big impact.

 Help Us Raise £5,000 to Keep Making a Difference!

We have achieved so much, but we know there are many more people who need our support.

As a not-for-profit community organisation, we reinvest our resources into creating opportunities and delivering meaningful projects for our community.

However, behind every welcoming workshop, every child's smile and every person discovering renewed confidence, there are essential costs that make these opportunities possible.

Our fundraising goal is £5,000 to help sustain Blessings in Action and our community activities over the next 12 months.

Your generous donations will help us:

•  Keep our organisation operating safely, covering essential costs such as insurance and administration.

•  Continue providing accessible wellbeing workshops, relaxation opportunities and psychological support.

•  Create more inclusive activities for neurodivergent children and young people.

•  Deliver creative arts and community workshops that encourage confidence, self-expression and connection.

•  Support physical activity opportunities through walking, hiking, yoga and family fitness.

•  Reach more vulnerable and isolated individuals who might otherwise miss out on these opportunities.

Your donation does more than support an organisation. It helps create the opportunities that can change someone's life.

Every contribution matters, whether it's £5, £10, £25 or whatever you can comfortably give.

Our Vision – Reaching More People, Changing More Lives

Over the next 12 months, we want to build on everything we've achieved.

We want to reach more children who need inclusive spaces to grow in confidence.

More adults experiencing stress, anxiety or isolation who would benefit from accessible support.

More families who deserve opportunities to connect, laugh and enjoy meaningful time together.

And more disadvantaged individuals who simply need someone to believe in them and give them an opportunity.

We want to continue working alongside local businesses, artists and community partners to create a stronger, more connected and compassionate community.

Because nobody should feel forgotten, excluded or unable to access support simply because of their circumstances.

 Be Part of Someone's Story

Imagine a child discovering confidence they never knew they had.

An isolated adult finding a welcoming community where they finally feel they belong.

Someone overwhelmed by stress experiencing a moment of peace.

Or a person who never believed their creativity mattered, proudly showing their artwork to their family in a museum.

These are the moments your generosity can help create.

We have the passion, the experience, the volunteers and the determination to continue making a difference.

Now, we need your help.

 Please donate to our £5,000 fundraising appeal today.

If you're unable to donate, sharing our story with your friends, family or networks could make an equally meaningful difference.

Together, we can reach more people, create more opportunities and continue turning compassion into action.

Because at Blessings in Action, we don't just believe in making a difference. 

We put our blessings into action.

Thank you for believing in our community and helping us make a difference.
