WELLNESS IN THE CITIES PROJECT






The vision of  ‘Wellness in the Cities’ is to improve the wellness of people during challenging times and help people bounce back when life happens.
 

Our goal is to donate books to the likes of libraries, prisons, educational establishments and more, meaning people, both young and old, can access our resources to improve or maintain their wellness.
 

To achieve this, we need your help in the form of financial donations, so we can continue the work we have already started. 


Our past projects include:

• Donating resources to Liverpool Central Library. Goal: Improve the wellbeing of people in the community, promote resilience and offer hope to people in the community.

• Donating book bundles to prisons and prison chaplains working with offenders. Goals: 1) rehabilitate and reintegrate offenders by changing mindsets and behaviours; 2) improve the emotional and mental wellness of offenders and decrease the emotional/mental challenges offenders face; 3) decrease the risk of suicide and number of deaths in prisons; 4) improve literacy and 5) offer hope of a brighter/better future.

• Raising funds to build (from scratch) a library for a women’s refuge in Buckinghamshire, in addition to running a workshop. Goal: Empower and educate women, improve/maintain their wellbeing, change patterns of behaviour, improve literacy and eliminate isolation.

• Donating books to a women’s library scheme in a rural village in Kenya. Goal: Empower and educate disadvantaged and socially isolated women, improve/maintain their wellbeing and improve literacy.

• Delivering a 2-day pilot workshop in a female prison, in addition to donating books to their library.  Goal: Reduce the rate of self-harm, depression, hopelessness and self-inflicted deaths whilst improving emotional wellness during custody (and beyond).  Also improving literacy.


Vision for 2019

Our vision is to increase our reach to over 1,000,000 people, both young and old.
