In the beginning...
I carried out a community research project over 12 months, looking at the effect of the cost of living on the health and happiness of Portsmouth families. Here you can see the findings and action happening to make a difference.
...that led to a mission
To bring about change and foster connections that make our community stronger, happier and healthier.
Goals
To provide a network of useful information and be a part of/develop community projects. Offer a helping hand and encourage others to do the same.

Family Hub Garden Project
A mindful art project for parents with children who have additional needs/health issues. Our taster session held recently showed parents' sense of wellbeing increased by 18% in just 1 hour and they left feeling more optimistic and 40% more relaxed compared to when they arrived. Collaborating with Charli from Think Big, Do Bigger, we have funding for 2 outreach sessions with the plan to find funding to run regular sessions.
