WORKING WITH OUR LOCAL COMMUNITY

From 2021-2024 we were awarded £10k annually to run workshops and classes in the community to provide extra support to our community around the five year anniversary of the Grenfell tragedy.  

We ran 66 free classes and workshops delivered by 12 therapists over 78 hours and at 5 venues in the North Kensington community. 

Sessions took place at different venues to cover the five  wards of North Kensington most affected by the disaster:  

Colville - The Tabernacle

We are thrilled to have been awarded a grant by the Westway trust to help us to help those most in need in our local community. We are using this money to fund low cost classes / workshops and One2One sessions at our Pod (unit 5&6, 1 Thorpe Close, Ladbroke Grove).

We hope to make a significant difference in the social wellbeing of individuals in our community. Through our project we want to give people tools to live more active and healthy lifestyles and skills to thrive.
We want to help people to feel better physically and mentally, and feel looked after, listened to and less isolated in these difficult times.

We also worked closely with the Royal Borough Kensington & Chelsea. offering one-to-one sessions to residents affected by the Grenfell tragedy. We delivered 800+ sessions to over 150 people. We have been honoured to meet and work with so many amazing people and such a strong and powerful community, it has been quite a journey. We have built beautiful relationships and helped rebuild lives.

Each person had 6-12 hourly sessions with us and our team. We offered a multidisciplinary approach that looked at each client and their needs and symptoms individually and then selected a mix of our therapies to work together. This is the first time such professional and well provisioned continued care had been provided and the results were amazing - actually even better than we could have expected. It showed how very powerful ‘alternative’ therapies can be, especially when working as a team together.

We have helped people where medication couldn’t. Trauma and grief tends to sit in the body and when you work through it gently in this physical way, the results can be phenomenal.   We are so grateful for this opportunity and to be able to use our medicine in this way. We hope to write a paper showing the process and our results. This is something that needs to be incorporated into mainstream care.
