Wellbeing Pack reaction

To celebrate Mental Health Awareness Week 2020, the team at Ceartas developed a Wellbeing Pack for those living in East Dunbartonshire who may not have been aware of independent advocacy or our service. The pack was designed for those who have been finding lockdown a challenging experience due to shielding or self-isolation.

We appealed to people on Facebook to help us spread the word and the response was extremely positive, receiving well over 100 requests for packs. With your help, we managed to reach many people, their family, friends and neighbours who have now been informally introduced to Ceartas.

Most importantly, many new people now know we are here for them, when they need us.

Check out their feedback on the picture below.
