As we approach 2024, we’ve been sharing our 10:4 Campaign and asking followers and supporters of Space to Breathe to help us. We wanted to update you, give you the chance to donate and share more.
Help us reach our target
We’ve raised £1415 so far, 28% of our target of £5000. These funds are already being used to help people embrace tried and tested wellbeing tools and to include people who are facing barriers to care and support. Would you help us by donating today?
The 10:4 Campaign is all about prioritising those who face increasing pressure or struggle in their lives and make resources available to those whose access is often denied or fraught with struggle. We think wellbeing and mental health is a priority for all. The campaign will lead to making available four wellbeing tools that consistently help people who are either waiting for care, struggling to connect or working through discharge. We want to share these tools with 250 of the people who really need these tools the most but often fall through the cracks.
UPDATES
Since we began the campaign we’ve been able to receive referrals and offer support to individuals who have been discharged from care but are struggling to manage. We’ve also been able to open up a free to access referrals route where we can either hear from NHS staff or allow people to self refer. This has led to new routes for support and we’re thrilled to be able to make this available.
As a team we’ve also been able to create our first resource around our 4 tried and tested wellbeing tools. The 10/4 Cards introduce breathing, self-awareness, perspective and purpose. We’ll be sharing these widely and using them to help people get started with understanding these four key tools.
WHAT NEXT
As our campaign has developed we’ve been able to understand further the needs of people we want to support and gaps in service. As we aim to raise the remaining 70% of our campaign we want to:
Focus on the particular challenges of discharge, where people leave support services but often feel like they still need support and assistance.
Receive further referrals and particularly prioritise individuals ability to self-refer.
Create video resources on our four tools.
Translate resources into other languages.
PLEASE HELP US
We will have this campaign open until the beginning of 2024. Would you consider donating today? £10 donations make a huge difference and are the bread and butter of the campaign. We are also encouraging larger donations which can enable us to work directly with individuals, especially focusing on those people for whom attending a group would be a real challenge at this time. Please do consider helping us. You can use the button below.
Every donation is welcome and every donor will receive a code to download our “Reflective” album of MP3 Mindfulness meditations free (usual price £4.99.)
