As mentioned in earlier blogs, it was always our intention to set up a Community Interest Company from which to run the 'its not magic but it could be' website and services. This has now been achieved under the name Heartfelt Coaching CIC.
There are some key distinctions to be made about such an organisational structure which makes it suitable for a community based social enterprise, the most prevalent one being that all profits are reinvested in the company and not distributed amongst shareholders. Not only does this ethos promote community spirit but it can also help attract grants and funding from local and national sources. By attaining additional funding to that already being raised by our crowdfunding campaign, the team at 'its not magic but it could be' will be able to produce more resources and hold as many workshops and funds allow.
We know that reaching out to our children and young people with support and mental health boosting information is a great way to help them grow as happy, empowered individuals, but in current times, the likes of which we have never seen before, it is absolutely vital.
We have already begun to develop our community through the Facebook Page and Group, the latest launch being live 15 minute mental health chats for children and young people, being held every Tuesday for 7-11 year olds and Thursdays for those aged 11+.
Whilst building online communities we will also launch face to face offers once conditions allow, utilising locals spaces to hold workshops, peer support and family coaching sessions. We know that schools provide an excellent place to educate our children and young people in mental health and this is something we fully intend to develop in the months and years to come.
You, as members of our community can help make change possible by sharing our crowdfunding campaign far and wide but also by referring anyone needing our support or wanting to contribute to our effort; to the website, and social media platforms, all easily found under the 'its not magic but it could be' name.
Many thanks.
Change is possible, support is out there, and its not magic.....but it could be.
