Community Well-being

At Happy Me Community CIC, we believe that looking after your wellbeing should not be a luxury. Through our Community Wellbeing programme, we have supported women and local residents to access holistic therapies, reduce stress, improve confidence, and prioritise self-care in a welcoming and supportive environment.

Many women in our community tell us that the cost of wellbeing treatments can often be a barrier. Our volunteer therapists are passionate about making these therapies more accessible, offering affordable treatments while giving back to the community.

Over the years, our dedicated volunteers and therapists have generously shared their time, skills, and experience through wellbeing events, peer support groups, Reiki sessions, sound healing, holistic therapies, and self-care activities. We have consistently seen the positive impact these practices have on emotional wellbeing, resilience, confidence, and connection.
