Summary

The CAMEO (Come And Meet Each Other) is a warm welcoming social group for vulnerable adults from across the three towns, located in Saltcoats.

---

Description

The group meets every Wednesday, offering a welcoming safe space to bring people together. A space that is positive and supportive, allowing people to have a voice, to share experiences, to heal and to work towards better health and wellbeing. It’s free and open to all adults who find themselves struggling and feeling overwhelmed by life. The group aims to decrease social isolation while raising levels of confidence and engagement. As many of the group members have experienced trauma, addiction and/or bereavement resulting in poor self-esteem and mental health. And found themselves ‘staring at the same four walls’ before discovering the group.

The funding we're applying for would be spent as follows:

• Sustaining the group and promoting the group to the wider community to help more people in the three towns area.
• Staging an ‘Open Day’ style event open to the wider community to remove barriers to accessing the group. Bringing different cultures together to create a more cohesive community.
• Weekly food provision and refreshments costs
• Transportation and packed lunch costs for trips to destinations outside Saltcoats, to create new experiences and new memories, improving mental health
