South Kent
## Welcome! A message from the Chair and CEO Pt The political landscape this year has been particularly s- challenging, with the cost-of-living crisis and numerous pressures on public finances impacting our statutory funding. However, despite these challenges, we have continued to improve the lives of individuals with ax mental health issues in the South Kent Area.
The political landscape this year has been particularly challenging, with the cost-of-living crisis and numerous pressures on public finances impacting our statutory funding. However, despite these challenges, we have continued to improve the lives of individuals with mental health issues in the South Kent Area.
This year has been busy and productive in our efforts to support the local community with their mental health needs.
Charles Traylen Chair
We have actively sought the needs of our local community and hopefully have delivered activities that better reflect those needs in Hythe, Folkestone, Dover, and Deal. This report outlines how we have achieved this.
We are pleased to announce the opening of two new shops in Dover and Folkestone. All the profits from our 3 shops (Hythe, Dover and Folkestone) fund our charity. Establishing these shops within a short span of four months was demanding, but with the remarkable support from our volunteers and staff, we succeeded. We encourage everyone to visit these shops, with their addresses provided at the end of this report.
Our ongoing work in schools has been highly welcomed by teaching staff and students, who can clearly see the benefits our sessions have had. We are optimistic about obtaining additional grants to continue this essential work.
The Trustees have diligently governed the charity throughout the year. We extend our special thanks to our Treasurer, Stewart Martin, whose contribution has been invaluable.
We remain hopeful and committed to growing from strength to strength in the coming year.
Sheridan Hammond CEO

## World Mental Health Day 2023 survey results
What does mental health mean to the people of South Kent?
For **World Mental Health Day 2023** , we conducted a survey to find out what concerns the people of South Kent the most when it comes to their mental health. The survey has been useful in helping us adapt our services to be more accessible and useful.
Our survey shows that **almost all of us have been impacted by mental health** in some way. This is why mental health services are so important to the health of our community.
These results show us that our wellbeing groups are helpful to those with mental health concerns. We have a range of activities such as art and cooking, as well as social-based groups like our walk and talk sessions.
## How we have supported people in the South Kent community
## Cooking and Baking
_“I have no family here and I do experience loneliness, cooking and eating together gives me a real sense of belonging.”_
In recent times the walking group has been a lifeline, the support from the team, as well as the members has got me though and I will always be grateful to them all.
It’s fair to say that my time with **South Kent Mind** has transformed my life so very much for the better and in ways I could not have possible imagined. The world is such a challenging place and the work that SKM does is more vital than ever. S-
## Group Activities User
Find out more about our groups at: southkentmind.org.uk/weekly-activities
Our healthy cooking on a budget group has proved to be immensely popular. It is well attended, and service users report that they have gained the skills and confidence to cook from scratch. Participants prepare, cook and eat together and the social element is a hugely important part of these groups.
## **Walking Groups in Folkestone**
A group of people meet each week for a gentle stroll through the country park. The sea, plants, fresh air and conversation has proved to be very popular and helpful in improving wellbeing.
## Mindfulness
Our Deal 5-week Mindfulness course in the spring proved to be a huge success with increasing numbers wishing to join. There is now a strong core group regularly attending the weekly sessions in Deal where we are delivering Mindfulness Mediation and teaching coping strategies. Each week we cover different topics, including food & mood, and managing anxiety.
## Online Mindfulness
_“Mindfulness has helped me to accept and befriend my anxiety. I know it will always be part of who I am but I’m learning to live alongside it.”_
People are really feeling the benefit of joining online, particularly those who find it difficult to leave their homes. Participants have increased their confidence, with one individual who rarely leaves their house offering to join us for a walk. People are using the relaxation techniques to manage their anxiety and emotions.
## Goodnestone Park Gardening
_“When I am at Goodnestone Park all my worries just disappear.”_
Once a month a large group of service users volunteer at Goodnestone Park. As well as promoting physical activity and connecting to nature, it gives people a real sense of achievement and purpose when they step back to look at what they can achieve when working together.
## Dover Groups
Our Dover groups are going from strength to strength. Here we facilitate a weekly walk and a creativity and mindfulness session. Creative writing and journaling for wellbeing is a very popular element of these groups. Each person has their own writing book, and the participants have built the confidence to read their work out loud to the group.

How we have supported children and young people across South Kent
We feel that pupils get the best out their education when they have strategies that support good mental health & wellbeing, and we have been really grateful to work with **South Kent Mind** to help promote positive mental f- health for our pupils
The Folkestone School for Girls
South Kent Mind has been delivering courses to both primary and secondary school in the area. These courses, running over 4 weeks, focus on the issues that young people may be facing. Sessions last between 60 and 90 minutes and are delivered by two of the wellbeing coordinators on the South Kent Mind team.
The course is structured over 4 sessions, covering: Understanding Self-Esteem and Confidence, Understanding Feelings, Understanding Relationships, Understanding Worries. For primary schools, SKM use an age-
appropriate version of this structure which has proved to be effective with younger children.
& me : Delivery is centered on completing work sheets and then engaging in a group discussion about outcomes. A “contract of conduct” is established in the first week of delivery to ensure that anything shared in the session is handled with respect.
Young people are reminded that if they feel unable to contribute, they don’t have to. By establishing these boundaries, staff have found that young people feel much more confident to speak out.
The team have thoroughly enjoyed delivering these sessions with feedback from schools and pupils reinforcing the need for and success of such courses.

## How we have been supported by our volunteers
## gape
Being able to volunteer at **South Kent Mind** I consider a privilege. Every time I leave the building, at the end of the session, I have a smile on my face and happy thoughts. Knowing that our vulnerable members of society are so well supported with their wellbeing and mental health is uplifting. The range of activities available to the clients is amazing.
## Volunteers
We are incredibly grateful that more than 60 volunteers have supported us over the past year. Thanks to them we are able to keep our shops running efficiently, make sure all our service users are supported at groups and attend events across South Kent.
I personally have been able to support a range of activities; relaxation, cooking, wellbeing and reading. Each session brings out different qualities in the clients. The staff are extremely professional, caring and supportive. **I would highly**
A big thank you to all our hardworking volunteers, you are the glue of our local community, and we couldn’t do it without you!

## Support through Fundraising
_On 16[th] July 2023_ _**Debbie** embarked upon a 14-day cycle ride from Lands End to John O’Groats raising a total of_ _**£3,264.50 for South Kent Mind**_
## **I’m doing it for South Kent Mind,**
**because I want to give something back.**
In 2019 I was involved in a cycling accident that resulted in a serious shoulder injury and significantly impacted my confidence and mental health. It was a three-year recovery period and over that time I realised that my passion for sports in general was a major part of my mental wellbeing, and being unable to cycle brought metal health challenges I had not encountered until then.
Because of my circumstances, I was fortunate to fund private therapy sessions which have rebuilt my confidence and set me back on the path to recovery. Upon reflection I realised that there are other people in our communities, for whom private therapy is beyond their means and so I did some research and found a local mental health charity, South Kent Mind who provide subsidised counselling to the area. ;
## **Fundraisers**
As South Kent Mind is and independent non-profit, we often rely on the support of local community to help us raise funds for those struggling with their mental wellbeing. This year we have been lucky to have had the support of **10 fundraisers!**
Some of the challenges that people have set themselves to raise money for us have been incredible from bike rides and coastal walks to the Tough Mudder event. If you have fundraised for us this year, we’d like to say a huge thank you for choosing our charity, your amazing efforts mean that we can continue our vital services.
