Activities
Prior to CIO registration Mindworks UK was engaging with the local community in many different ways such as: **March 2020**
Mindworks UK became part of an alliance with other mental health organisations rolling out monthly webinars to support the wider community as face to face sessions ceased and everything went online.
This was the Coronavirus Response Group (CRG) This meant MindworksUK was better able to reach more people further a field and offer the support of counselling via Zoom, Skype and telephone.
Through existing partnerships Mindworks UK started to receive referrals for other items not related to mental health. By being in partnership with Tooting Community Kitchen they were able to help to facilitate the additional needs within the community of Wandsworth. The donations of computer equipment for local families to engage with home learning, having counselling session during the first national lockdown.
