Wellbeing 4 Life CIC (trading as Motivated Minds)

Helping people live happier and healthier lives

We're a Basildon based organisation, set up by local people to raise awareness and support mental health. At some point, all of our team have been touched by mental ill health and because of this we want to reach out and support others who are struggling. We use positive psychology and embed all our work around the NHS 5 ways to wellbeing: connecting, learning, being active, mindfulness, and giving. In 2019 we were runner up in the Royal Society of Public Health awards for Health on the High Street.

Why the community needs us
Based in the heart of the community our HAPPY Hub and wellness cafe aims to provide a safe space for people to come and connect, take part in therapeutic activities and just relax and enjoy themselves. We run various social action projects throughout the year to support our community, such as our community fridge, giving Christmas, and support to the homeless.

Our impact on the community
Year on year our impact on the community has grown. Today we serve over 1000 people per month from our HAPPY Hub alone. We have been driven through many hard times by our passion and dedication to be there for others. During the pandemic we were open every day and offering a variety of services to ensure our community was supported. We have been highly recognised for our proactive and psotive appraoch to mental health, and our ability to help people who are stuggling at the point of need. But we need your help to keep meeting the ever increasing need.
