Following COVID19, we secured funding from the Community Mental Health and Wellbeing Fund to develop a new project in partnership with East Dunbartonshire Citizens Advice Bureau.
One of our Community Care Categories is those living with ill mental health. A Bite and A Blether is a peer-support group offering a relaxed and informal setting, where people come together over lunch to socialise and access support. Here, we provide a range of activities and information to enhance people’s mental health and wellbeing and provide routes in to Advocacy with the overall aim of reducing social isolation and loneliness.
Currently, A Bite and A Blether runs in three locations across East Dunbartonshire – Kirkintilloch, Milngavie and Auchinairn. Since its launch in June 2022, the group has supported approximately 255 attendees across all locations.
