Funded: June 2023
Blue Light Card Foundation has provided funding for wellbeing toolkit days and residential retreats for the Blue Light community
Sectors supported: Blue Light community
Your North was founded by two former RAF aircraft engineers who left service with a mission to support mental health and wellbeing through coaching and education.
Based in South Wales, they run a variety of training courses to enable people to lead happier, more fulfilled lives and empower them to make positive change.
This funding will enable Your North to run toolkit courses for Blue Light community members with a focus on improving mental health, wellbeing, mindset, communication, mindfulness and happiness. Residential retreats provide an opportunity for delegates to get out in nature and consolidate what they learned in the training room.
This project will have a huge positive impact on the lives of the Armed Forces community and Emergency Services as people are brought together; forging new friendships, openness and opportunities for new experiences and growth. Participants are provided with new information to encourage them to take ownership of their thoughts, feelings and behaviour to enable them to thrive in society.
Kelly Farr, Your North founder, said: “We are so grateful for the support received from Blue Light Card Foundation, and this grant will help us to provide mental health and wellbeing training for our Armed Forces and emergency services communities. Providing education is key to building resilience, and we are on a mission to empower individuals to take ownership of their wellbeing and thrive, even with a diagnosed mental health condition. “
