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. The new organisation providing counselling in Solihull is the Women’s Consortium. You can access their service by using this online referral form 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 Thank you to everyone who supported us at our plant sale in Knowle. Once again we had queues back down to the main road waiting to get in on the Saturday to ensure that people didn’t miss out on our very popular hanging baskets. The large number of people attending over the two days meant we made a record sales figure of over £9,000 including a very busy weekend in the cafe. Thank you again for all the support and hope to see you all again next year!

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 1st 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.
