Happy new month!
I’m excited to let you know about the projects that are starting within the next couple of weeks. These projects are all part of a strategy to grow into new areas, providing amazing services for those who need them most.

DOULA Our extended doula service is due to start in Sandwell this April, providing vulnerable pregnant women with support through pregnancy, birth and beyond. We also have funding from Core 20, which will be used to train 10 new Doula Champions to support the most vulnerable moms across Birmingham and Solihull. Our Doula Champions stand many benefits, including personal growth, upskilling, volunteer references and an attractive tempo timeshare offer, which can be used all over the country. Applications for this are ongoing, and spaces are limited. You can visit our website here, for more enquires and to apply. We are currently running FLOW writing and healing workshops for mothers who’ve experienced baby loss after which our pregnancy after baby loss group will be established to provide a community of like minds. More information will passed across. |

RAPHA Our Rapha service provides a Listening Service for both men and women adults across Birmingham and Solihull, and we have been growing this successfully over the last few months. From the 1st of April, this will be expanding even further in partnership with Living Well Consortium. Funding from both the Eveson Trust and the Heart of England Trust is enabling additional support for those who need listening sessions for both men and women across Birmingham, where the support is needed most. Under the Rapha service, applications are also open for ‘walk talk move and heal’ programme for 40+ men from an ethnic minority background and experiencing mental health challenges. This programme aims to help men improve their wellbeing with free weekly activities, including: supervised walks, supervised cycle rides, supervised swim sessions, supervised gym sessions. Spaces are limited, click here to register your interest or enquire contact Alison via email: alison@bethelnetwork.org.uk or tel: 07717661387. |

Finally, some of our staff members are now community pass holders, and will be taking service users/clients to historical venues across Birmingham, such as Sarehole Mill, Blakesley House, Aston Hall and the Think Tank. More information will be communicated. I am looking forward to the continued growth of Bethel health and healing network throughout this new year and partnering with new organisations, opening opportunities for bridging the gap where service provision is low. It is an exciting time with lots of great new projects in the pipeline, so watch this space!! We welcome volunteers, partnerships and donations to support our expansion. Stay updated with all things Bethel by following our social media pages. Once more, we wish you a happy new month. |
