The Cameo Group stands for Come and Meet Each Other. It provides a welcoming space for anyone who has ever been socially isolated, or affected in any way by poor mental health or wellbeing.
Project Description
The group meets every Wednesday, offering a welcoming space to bring people together. It is positve and supportive, allowing people space to chat, to share experiences, and to work towards better health and wellbeing. It is free and open to all adults who may find themselves struggling and feeling overwhelmed with life. The group aims to reduce social isolation and to help people to feel more confident and connected to their local community. Many of the group members have experineced trauma, addiction or bereavement and appreciate the chance to connect and to chat. The group in in an accessible location and is a great place for people to find out what else is going on the their community and to access other actvities in the centre, eg, the Argyle Community Shop, Money Smart debt services or Quit Your Way.
The funding we are looking for will go towards:
Room lets each week in the Argyle Community Centre - £360
Cost of teas, coffees & snacks each week - £150
The cost of publicity materials for promoting the group to the wider community - £90
Cost of craft activities, games or speakers which the group decides - £200
Cost of Christmas lunch together and a summer outing as a group to create new experiences and memories, improving mental health and isolation - £200
Location: Saltcoats has many areas of deprivation, making meeting up with people costly and out of the price range of some people. Our group helps people to avoid becoming isolated and helps people to improve their mental and physical health.
A very welcoming group and Claire makes the best cuppa and Maggie the best cakes 😁
