Farha Naaz3 years ago Stitching for Wellbeing is a community initiative designed to enhance the quality of life in our neighbourhood. This project empowers residents to acquire essential sewing and clothing repair skills, fostering self-sufficiency and personal growth.Our primary focus is on improving mental health and well-being.

We will assess the project's impact by conducting surveys and gathering feedback to measure changes in participants' sewing skills, mental well-being, and overall satisfaction.Ultimately, Stitching for Wellbeing, seeks to create a stronger, more resilient, and happier community by nurturing individual growth, fostering a sense of belonging, and promoting a sustainable way of living that benefits both residents and the environment.

Rizwan Abhi3 years ago ** Celebrate the Festival of Walking with us in the Peak District **This idea is to organise and deliver a series of community trips to sites across the UK for the purpose of hiking and mountaineering. The aspect of travelling together and sharing this experience appeals to me as I've met some really good friends whilst being amazed at the natural beauty of our National Parks. The trips will be subsidised to include the cost of the coach hire, basic refreshments, and any additional costs. This grant will ensure people from all backgrounds can attend without spending too much money. The idea is to get a good mix of people from different backgrounds and ages to connect and network whilst learning about the outdoors, environmental issues such as climate change and clean air, and the importance of a strong interconnected community to improve safety and build trust. There will be fun workshops, masterclasses and inputs on a variety of subjects with the goal of upskilling and uplifting participants.

Hope 4 Humanity3 years ago Hope 4 Humanity is an organisation that has been in operation since 2020 in the Borough of Newham. We run a food bank there as well as we have been running several successful projects over the course of this time. The project that we are proposing to do is called the "Women's and Youth Empowerment Project" which will be holistic, dynamic and efficient. It will involve 40 youths and 40 women in the Neighbourhood of Green Street. Activities will be tailored to meet the needs of these two groups of people. We will ensure that young people have the ability and skill to excel, regardless of their background and circumstances. Our project will also ensure that the 40 women specified, will get the opportunity to improve their health and well-being, as well as the young people. .Women will get the chance to participate in robust activities tailored to meet their needs. We will teach the young people about app making and give them training in media and the logistics around this area. Although young people know about social media platforms, they sometimes lack the knowledge of how to use and apply it properly and to their advantage. We intend to change this by providing the appropriate training in Digital Media, which will build upon their confidence, and boost their self-esteem. In doing so young people can begin to believe that they too can be on radio or television as well as they can start lucrative YouTube businesses etc., which will benefit themselves and their neighborhood. Kickboxing will also be one of the activities that young people will be given training in. Secondly, the 40 women involved will participate in a catalogue of activities that will be uplifting and satisfying. They will have dance lessons as well as women will get lessons in acting and in self-defence. We want women to learn how to protect themselves and to be safe and feel safe in their community. We will have a health cafe, where women will be given health information and advice as needed. Outside professionals as well as our staff will facilitate most of the sessions.. We will work from the SMART project model, which means that our goals will be specific, measurable, achievable, realistic and time-bound. Young people will be enabled to become future ambassadors and entrepreneurs in their community and there will be a combination of health benefits for women and mental stability
