FINANCIAL REVIEW
REVIEW OF THE YEAR
Garden of Compassion
What a wonderful year and what growth itt the garden. Over the last year we met with a number of
community groups as we continue4f to cultivate compassionate awareness. Our meetings with City Hall also
bore fruit in the guise of new trces, new seating and benches. flower pots and plants. new lighting. The
gard¢n which at one time none would enter has become a place of rest and relaxation. Over the year we
introduced monthly sessions of jazz in the park. The Crescent Art Centre has availed of the Park for book
workshops and poetry readings. The Northern Ireland Mental Health Film and Arts festival availed of the
park for the launch of their annual festival. There were children's events, story-telling and games available
for all to enjoy. We are working with a number of groups to turn ihe park into art arts garden, which will be
called the gARTen of Compassion.
Mountcharles Miiidfulness Group- the emotional heart of compassion
CCB Mindfulness weekly group continued to flourish and weekly discussions are encouraged at Iix)king at
ways of expressing compassion. The group takes inspiration from thc work of the Charter. The group met
weckly throughout th¢ year and was attended by an average of15 people per week. Due to the high numbers
of people attending chis group on a weekly basis it has b¢¢n a great vehicle to promote the practise of
compassion in daily life.
Links with the Global Charter for Compassion and Compassionate Cities Movement
We continued to nurture links with the Global Charter for Compassion and Compassionate Cities Movement.
We began to pul in place plans for a major international conference on compassion in Belfast in 2020.
