😊 What makes you happy?
We had to share this beautiful moment of friendship from Dimensions Council for #MentalHealthAwarenessWeek
Dimensions Council are a group of people supported by, or tenants of, Dimensions. Council Chair, Jordan, tells us what makes him happy, recorded at their meeting this week.
😊 Congratulations to our exec team for 2 garden makeovers for Debbie and Desiree!
🔨 After a weekend of painting, planting, drilling and cups of tea; Rachael, Julia, Ben, Rhoda, Sinead, Helen, Sam and Clive are nursing their sore muscles!
🌷 But they are proud to have created two dream gardens for long-time neighbours Debbie and Desiree, all while raising money for Small Sparks.
Please donate, if you can, so we can give #SmallSparks grants to help more people to turn dreams into reality.
