Please help save a cause close to many hearts from closure!

My name is Jai. Just over 4 years ago, I set about designing and creating a unique, magical and inclusive mental health studio in the heart of Derby. After months of research, and reaching out to many in the community, it became evident that there was a significant lack of amenities which provided a safe, non judgmental place for those suffering with mental health, diagnosed terminal illness, SEN(D), physical disabilities, suicidal thoughts and so on to be included in, feel free and express themselves. It also became apparent there was nowhere available to provide inclusive services for the LGBTQ+ community, minority groups, victims of domestic abuse, elderly and carers (to name but a few). I therefore made it my mission to make sure that such a place existed.

After 6 months of non-stop creating, designing and grafting, Bodrumorphix Glow Studio finally opened its doors to the public in 2020 and quickly became a much loved and much needed addition to Derby - with many travelling from afar.

There really is nothing like Bodrumorphix Glow Studio in the UK!

Every session focuses on 'time out', soothing and restoring mental health - through relaxation and calmness - with the use of various lighting effects, calming motion FX visuals, aromatherapy and sound. Peace and tranquility are achieved using an array of specialised equipment - such as our unique motion projections, calming background music, fibre optic lighting, UV blacklighting, soft, comfortable furnishings, engaging activities and much more.

Users currently include (but are not limited to) individuals, groups and families for:

Down Syndrome

SEN(D)

Motor Neurons/Myasthenia Gravis

and much more!

The studio is also offered as a safe space for:

and much more!

To date, Bodrumorphix Glow Studio and all I have worked hard to provide has been totally self funded - from selling personal goods and possessions to TikTok lives to raise money. I have never received any funding, grants or Government support, despite continually trying. I am therefore always beyond grateful for any donations, backing and support offered. ALL proceeds from the goods I sell at the studio, in my online shop, and any funds raised via the TikTok platform go back into the running, upkeep and updates of Bodrumorphix Glow Studio. No wages are taken, despite working 7 days a week at the studio, nor have they ever been taken to date, and no profit is made after rent, bills, insurances, licences, equipment purchases, policies, advertising, supplies etc have been paid out. ​That's how dedicated, committed and passionate I am about all I provide!

Now, however, due to the rise in cost of living, and the ever increasing costs of overheads - this amazing creation is now heartrendingly facing closure! Its very simple... if I cannot pay the rent then Bodrumoprhix Glow Studio will be forced to close its doors for good!

I am therefore fundraising as a last desperate attempt to raise the much needed funds to help cover the next 12 months rent to keep this vital space open to all who have come to rely on it and need it!
