Free Community Event - 10th October 2024 In aid of World Mental Health Day we are opening our doors to both members of the community and to provisions operating services within the area. We do this as a way to bring people together, so you can find out more about what is on offer in your area, not through a phone call or a leaflet, but by speaking to someone face to face. Mental health and wellbeing can be impacted by many things but the provisions in the area can also help to improve them. on the 10th October, come on down to the CLC. Find out more about us and have a chance to get to know some of our partners across the wellbeing sector. Together, we can do more.

The Bury 10K took place on the 15th September 2024 where CLC staff acted as marshalls for the race and had our own tent in the events village. We had 5 runners who ran directly for the CLC to raise funds for the centre and we could not be more grateful to them. We also had several people who ran independently to raise much needed funds for the centre to keep activities such as Arts for All, warm hubs and breakfast club running. Despite the weather, we had a great day. It was a real team effort and we are so thankful and proud of everyone who contributed their time and skills to make this event possible.

Allotment Sensory Group took place on Tuesday last week and this was an opportunity for some members to mindfully experience a quiet, safe, outdoor space. From sitting down and listening to the natural sounds to smelling the flowers to touching different plants. Refocusing our minds to the present and to actually experience it while helping calm down our senses to let go all of our stresses.
