A Day of Mindfulness Brings the Community Together at YMCA – Heart of England

Residents came together at YMCA Heart of England’s Erdington site on August 20th for a special Day of Mindfulness, delivered in partnership with Mind Birmingham.

The event encouraged people to take time for themselves and focus on their wellbeing through a range of free activities, including massages, manicures, hair trims, colouring activities, face painting and refreshments.

Alongside the activities, attendees were able to access valuable support and advice from local organisations. Mind Birmingham was available throughout the day for one-to-one conversations, while Aquarius provided information and guidance for anyone looking to discuss wellbeing, alcohol, drug or gambling-related concerns.

The event received a fantastic response, with attendees praising the welcoming atmosphere, variety of activities and opportunity to connect with support services in a relaxed environment.

A huge thank you to everyone who attended, as well as our partners at Mind Birmingham and Aquarius for helping make the day such a success.

At YMCA Heart of England, we remain committed to creating opportunities that support wellbeing, strengthen communities and help people feel connected.
