The partnership aims to promote awareness of the link between mental health and money problems, encourage discussion between customers and colleagues and raise at least £2 million per year in offices and branches across the UK.
In Your Space were awarded £4,000 towards the facilitator fees for a project which used the vehicle of circus skills and performance. The project targeted children of all backgrounds and abilities aged 3-8 years to participate in the Seedlings Circus Project. The project was sensitively developed to support this age group to build their confidence, develop their ability to communicate with others and improve their body awareness, physical literacy and key motor skills. 163 children benefitted from this project and reported improved confidence, concentration and listening skills.
