All funds will go to supporting the online peer support groups which allow people to attend meetings from their homes making them accessible to many who may find going out difficult for many reasons.

Changes Bristol provides many safe spaces for mental health peer support and have helped many people over the years. As a volunteer and member they have supported me through my Long Covid journey and the affect that it has had on me. Even though I currently can’t do any physical challenges I wanted to do something to show my support.

I have designed and created a cross stitch picture that I feel represents the Changes Bristol Community and will give it to one lucky person who donates to this cause.

I was inspired by the Serenity prayer as I love the sentiment of the words and how we use it in the meetings as a positive way to bring the members back together before we finish. The key words are often referenced or implied in our shares and reflections. The hands represent the inclusive nature of the groups and that we all support each other as equals through sharing and reflecting. I’m hoping that others can relate to it too.
