Within the wider community we will work with local charities and groups to provide a platform to promote their services by providing our services at outdoor events. This could be in the form of music and PA announcments at events. This will make people aware of groups supporting mental health and wellbeing and an avenue for those with mental health issues. Benefits to the local community;
The promotion of community-led events relating to mental health and well-being.
Make people aware of groups supporting mental health and well-being.
Improved social awareness and interaction.
Description
To facilitate the outside broadcasts, we require to purchase a portable petrol/diesel generator sufficient enough to provide power for our equipment at events. Currently we would need to pay high rates for hire of the equipment which we would need to pass on to the groups as an increased cost. With a generator we can lower the costs to the locals groups
We estimate that the generator would cost £400.
