Feel free to get in touch. Further details are also available via our websites and social media at www.freshcommunitywellness.com , https://twitter.com/FreshCWellness and https://www.facebook.com/freshcommunitywellness FRESH Community Wellness offers a free befriending/ active wellness service for people of all ages in the Aberdeen area. We use motivational interviewing (MI) techniques to help make positive changes to lifestyle. By lending an ear and offering gentle encouragement, we hope to help anyone in the community, vulnerable, in need, lonely to meet the goals and make the changes that matter to them. With confidence and without judgement. FRESH meets up regularly at outdoor locations throughout the city, 6 days a week. As well as being Covid safe, meeting outdoors gives everyone the space for some fresh air and light exercise. A great chance to meet some new people. Equally, if they are more introverted, a spacious outdoor setting means that plenty of room to split up into smaller groups, for a quieter chat. At the meet-ups, we usually go for a relaxed walk in the area, whether that be the beach, a park, or alongside one of Aberdeen’s beautiful rivers. This is a great environment for a confidential chat if you feel like it. But if not, we also tend to focus on a particular activity at each session, such as litter picking, or on a particular discussion topic, such as cooking on a budget. We also offer signposting towards the “safe choices” offered by local services. And, we should mention, we always make sure that everyone who comes gets a decent snack and something hot to drink. All of our volunteers are trained in the use of naloxone and basic emergency response. Some of our volunteers have had first-hand experience of alcohol or drug dependencies, as well as personal journeys of treatment and recovery. But regardless of our individual background, and regardless of yours, all of us will treat you without judgement, and with empathy, kindness, and respect. As one of our Home Based Wellness Assistants you can assist greatly with a number of aspects such as social media and promotional updates, befriending, mentoring or fundraising. A fantastic opportunity to help and all assistance is greatly appreciated. For more information please contact us at email: admin@freshcommunitywellness.com
