Aldershot: The Vine Centre
Our mission is to serve the community, enabling individuals to move towards independence, make sustainable change in their lives, reduce social isolation and improve their quality of life by offering specialised support in a safe environment. We support adults and families that are socially isolated, long-term unemployed, homeless or poorly housed, suffering with mental health, addiction or learning difficulties. Often individuals will access more than one of our services - and they are always welcome to join anything we have on offer.

London: Diversity matters - music for mind and motherhood - Wednesdays 1100-1230hrs
Singing can lift our moods and make us feel better, boost our confidence and reduce stress, give us space to express ourselves, and help us to connect with others and with ourselves.
For this group, we dive into the magic of singing, and how it can create a space for wellbeing, connection and expression, offering an alternative way in to exploring your journey through motherhood. We will learn songs, practice gentle grounding and sound making exercises that encourage noticing and presence, and invite creative play where you can contribute your ideas if you wish. And the best bit: you absolutely do not have to 'be a singer' to enjoy singing and take part!

Forces Additional Needs and Disability Forum (FANDF) Survey: Access to Health and Wellbeing Services
The Forces Additional Needs and Disability Forum (FANDF) is a tri-service group for Serving personnel, reservists and their families who have a child or adult immediate family member with an additional need and/or disability. FANDF is a unique group as it is run by a committee of members whose vision is ‘to ensure that all Forces families with additional needs and disabilities receive the support they need’ and aims to be the voice of Forces families with additional needs and disabilities.
FANDF invites you to complete their short survey which explores your experiences of accessing health and wellbeing services while navigating life as a Forces family with additional needs and/or disabilities. This includes access to mental health support, CAMHS, and the continuity of care across postings.
Findings will be analysed and used to develop evidence based recommendations that will be shared with policymakers and relevant subject matter experts across defence, health, and local government to ensure a clear and accurate understanding of need is reflected in policy and deliverable services.
Thank you for taking the time to support this important work and drive positive change.
The deadline for responses is Friday 27 March.
Should you have any questions please don't hesitate to reach out at: CS.ANDA@ssafa-fhs.org.uk

Richmondshire: Catterick Integrated Care Centre - Myth busting campaign
The NHS and Ministry Of Defence (MOD) have launched a six-week myth-busting campaign – Uniquely Us: The Catterick Integrated Care Centre (CICC) – across Catterick and Richmondshire.
We want to help you understand what services the new centre will (and won’t) provide, and make sure you know where to go for the right care.
Over the coming weeks, our team will be out and about in libraries, village halls, markets and other local spots to answer your questions and hear your feedback.
Come along, meet the team, and have a chat about what the new centre means for you and your family.
For more information on the CICC visit our website: https://humberandnorthyorkshire.org.uk/locations/north-yorkshire/our-work/cicc/
