The charity runs a Sports and Social programme for people experiencing and recovering from mental health issues and they sought support from our Dorset Community Coronavirus Fund to fund these activities for members affected during the Coronavirus lockdown.

Their new programme gives members the chance to get out and do something active such as football, gardening or fishing or stay home and connect virtually with our online gaming groups and book club.

One of the beneficiaries of the project shared:

‘…(the activities) have kept the quagmire at bay and stopped a lot of people feeling isolated and alone.’
