what’s new
Counselling changes
Following a recent tender process with
Birmingham and Solihull Mental Health
Foundation Trust (BSMHFT) we are sad to
announce that will no longer be providing
counselling funded by BSMHFT from the 1
st
April.
People already receiving counselling from
us will continue to have their sessions for
as long as they would have had prior to the
contract loss.
However, we can no longer accept any
new applications for counselling at
present.
We are trying to find ways of continuing
counselling using alternative funding
sources and if we are successful we will be
able to take new counselling applications
again.
Our Crisis Café is still running (it’s a
separate BSMHFT contract) and can
provide immediate support for those in a
crisis, but it isn’t intended to provide
ongoing counselling.
We don’t have any details yet of how the
new organisation – the Trustee Women’s
Consortium- who now have the contract,
will work and how people can access
counselling with them. As soon as we do
have any information we will publish it on
this website.
Music group restarts
Our music group is back!
We have a new volunteer, Layla, to
facilitate the group with playing/jamming,
composing, recording etc.
The group is located at our building in
Faulkner Road (map here) and will run
from 2pm to 4pm every Thursday from the
5
th
February.
No previous experience necessary, all
instruments are provided or you can bring
your own. For more information, please
contact our office.
Annual plant sale in aid of
OASIS
Our annual plant sale at our horticulture
and conservation project in Knowle is on
Saturday 23rd and Sunday 24th May from
11am to 4pm.
We will have the usual selection of
bedding and other plants plus our very
popular hanging baskets - we’ve produced
a record number for sale this year to cope
with the very high demand!
Also available are tea, coffee and home-
made cakes from our cafe in the summer
house.
