After my success of the Winter Well-being Appeal 2023 and 2024, I am back to raise vital funds and get families out this Winter.

In January & February this year, we covered the cost of entry, a hot drink and a cake at Aerial Adventures Soft Play to ensure families got out to our baby & toddler group (formerly known as Mummy Minds) over the Winter months. We covered 75 sessions! And, two accessible Christmas events from Caterpillar Music.

The colder months, the most expensive time of year AND during a financial/mental health crisis, it is VITAL that families have safe spaces to attend. We are built for connection, but it can sometimes be easier to avoid heading out when you're feeling low.

This year, we are going bigger and better.

We want to cover:

- Soft play entry, a hot drink and a cake for one adult and their child. Aerial Adventures will offer this for £6.50 for us!

- Christmas events for both of our groups. We normally hire a Christmas mascot and provide treats. Located at Aerial Adventure Soft Play AND Broxburn United Sports Club.

WHAT I NEED FROM YOU:

💪🏻 Can you use our football cards to raise money?

💪🏻 Can you hold a small fundraising event? Offer baked goods, sponsored silence, device ban, sponsored walk?

Why support this appeal, when there’s lots going on in the world? There’s a cost of living crisis & a mental health crisis. The Christmas period is incredibly overwhelming without worrying about how you will get through the day with your children in tow. If you or your child want to raise money, please get in touch.

PLEASE NOTE:

My organisation was formerly Big Heart, Little Minds CIC. EVERY PENNY raised will go towards the activities stated above. This appeal runs as a voluntary project newly named The Safe Space Project by me, Laura Joyce.

If you are a business, organisation, or can provide services, supplies or resources for our Christmas events, please get in touch!
