π¦ Introducing Wings to Wellness π¦
We are so very excited to announce that Sally's Duck Rescue has been awarded funding from The National Lottery Community Fund to expand our FLAP Wellbeing Programme through a new 12 month project called Wings to Wellness.
π FLAP stands for Freedom, Learning, Application and Progress.
ποΈ Freedom means people are welcomed as they are and supported to engage in ways that feel comfortable and achievable.
π Learning helps people build skills, confidence and knowledge through meaningful experiences.
π οΈ Application creates opportunities for people to contribute, take responsibility and see the value of their involvement.
π Progress is about helping people move forward in ways that are meaningful to them, whether that means improved wellbeing, increased confidence, volunteering, education or employment.
Through meaningful involvement in animal care and volunteering activities, the programme helps people improve wellbeing, build confidence, develop new skills and feel more connected to their community.
The project has been designed for people who may be experiencing:
β
Isolation or loneliness
β
Poor wellbeing or mental health
β
Neurodivergent people
β
Barriers to volunteering or employment
β
Low confidence or social connection
Thanks to National Lottery funding, we'll also be able to provide support with travel costs for people who might otherwise struggle to attend.
At Sally's Duck Rescue we've always believed that caring for animals can have a powerful impact on people's lives. Wings to Wellness will help us build on what already works and create even more opportunities for people to thrive.
β€οΈ Whether you're looking for a new sense of purpose, a supportive volunteering environment, or know someone who may benefit, we'd love to hear from you.
