Welcome to the March edition of FOCUS! We are delighted to report on the success of our eleventh year since foundation in 2014. This year….
• We have raised £27,000.
• We have completed seven fundraising events and have six more in the pipeline.
• We have donated over £20,000 to 14 charities.
• We have formed our own football team.
• We have secured £10,000 for the forthcoming year through generous donations.
This success has meant we have been able to support charities like Soundwell, who we feature this month – their mission is to improve mental health through live music. The charity was founded in 2000 following demand for community-based music therapy services for adult mental health and it has now developed into a variety of services for mental health recovery and careers in wellbeing in Bristol and Bath. BHMT supported one of their projects, which allowed 11 individuals to benefit from music therapy in group and individual settings; of these people 100% reported improved wellbeing deeming the project a success.
