Many thanks to our funder's @PostcodeLottery for supporting our cause to help improve wellbeing and social connection through sporting activies. Our Men's Group took up swimming lessons and yesterday played padel. The Women are at the gym, lifting weights, heavy ones at that!

@corrascot Thank you for taking the time to visit us. Our Healthy Deaf Minds project has mad such a positive impact on the members of the community. Increased confidence, less isolated people, and a heightened awareness of mental health issues. Thank you once again:)

A review of the the last few months activities at our Men's Group @GlasgowCVS funded programme.
We ventured into new territories, learning archery, racing cars and set up a football team.

Our final workshop 'Domestic Abuse Awareness' - was hugely impactful for all the men!

We will explore the impact of domestic violence on children in deaf families as co-victims & language brokers. We will be working with @luccl81 & Tasnim Ahmed from @SEMDC1 & partnering with @ddeaflinks & @PoliceScotland on this 1-yr project starting Jan 2025
