Avon Valley Community Matters
Mental wellbeing
We would like to provide trips and outings to places of interest, and the theatre. We would also like to celebrate special events such as birthdays, and organise meals.
About this cause
Our charity develops activities that meet the needs of groups, across the generations, in the parish of Fordingbridge. We try to address the needs of those not currently being met by other organisations or charities locally. By supporting and caring for those groups we bring a sense of purpose, belonging and self-worth.
How this cause brings people in the community together
Partaking in activities with others helps us to feel more positive and forward-looking, especially if we feel alone. Meeting others over lunch or afternoon tea provides opportunities to develop new interests, a sense of purpose and community together, with a sense of belonging. Our group helps people to forge new friendships and take on interests and challenges that they wouldn’t engage in alone.
