Funded by Comic Relief, Headwize is a project that provides new and enhanced mental health support services to young people from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic (BAME) communities living in some of Nottingham’s most disadvantaged areas. The aim of Headwize is to deal with mental health problems, through a culturally sensitive service that offers one-to-one and group sessions, builds awareness, tackles stigma and finds solutions. The project has been funded for three years and started in October 2020. This project is run by the Milestones partnership, a group of four organisations; Tuntum, Nottingham Counselling Service, BAC-IN (St Ann’s) and Chayah project (St Ann’s), and each of them will lead on different aspects of it. Tuntum’s role is to lead on the partnership and coordinate all activities. Tuntum provides Mental Health awareness raising sessions and individual and group support to young BAME homeless people, as well as housing-related support to help young people learn skills for independent living and secure and sustain tenancies in the community.

Hope into Action

https://nottingham.hopeintoaction.org.uk/ nottingham@hopeintoaction.org.uk

Hope into Action is a registered charity whose unique purpose is to enable churches to house the homeless. Work began in summer 2010 with a handful of people passionate about changing homelessness in the city of Peterborough. We provide not just shelter and housing know-how but also friendship. Together with over 85 churches we provide direct support to people whom others have often given up on. The original home had a real heart for men coming out of prison. Homes are now available for a wide range of "homeless", people in recovery from addiction, people sleeping rough, women and children fleeing domestic violence, people coming out of rehab, former prostitutes, refugees, those suffering mental health issues and survivors of human trafficking. Our vision is for every church to lovingly provide the homeless with a home. The tragedy of homelessness is in every community. We believe that with our help, you and your church can do something about it.

The service itself is all based around the needs of the client, our approach is people centric: those interested can self-refer to the service, not needing to consult their GPs. In response to client feedback, we removed any limit to the number of counselling sessions available to an individual, meaning that people get support for as long as they and their counsellor feel it is beneficial to them.

Parks and open spaces have looked after us during Covid, with many of us using them more during lockdown to get our daily exercise and fresh air. The Future Parks team are now suggesting we might like to give something back. There are different ways to help parks and open spaces - you can make a donation, which might go towards the Green Groups Fund that support keeping parks and open spaces litter free, carry out maintenance and make improvements for wildlife. Alternatively you might wish to donate to the wild flower meadows fund to create more wild flower meadows across Nottingham. Or you may wish to volunteer your time instead? Helping out in your local park or open space is a great way to help improve your community, gain new skills and meet new people.

It’s quickly grown to become a precious lifeline for many who would otherwise be lonely and isolated across south Nottinghamshire. Our friendly volunteers can call, visit with you or meet with you once or twice a week to have a friendly chat, check on your welfare, offer advice and company and ensure that you have what you need. This includes directing you to other support which could help you, such as our Voluntary Transport and Handy Housekeeping services. You can talk to our befrienders about anything – a shared hobby or interest, memories, what’s in the news or an issue you’d like some help with, such as how to collect a prescription. Vulnerable and isolated people are directed to us by friends and family, GPs and social services. But if you’re not going out and feel you’d benefit from a comforting chat, you can ask to use the service yourself, loneliness can affect us all and at any time in life.
