I am running two 50 mile and 1 105 mile ultramarathons between May and the end of july, culminating in Lakleland 100. I am running for Stubbylee Community Greenhouses. The first ultra is the Pennine Barrier on Saturday May 6th which starts and finishes in Malham in the Yorkshire Dales and takes in the Yorkshire 3 Peak. The second is the Stanza Stones from Marsden to Ilkley.
They provide open access, person centred, holistic, support to hundreds of people a year from our beautiful premises in Stubbylee Park in Bacup, Rossendale. Our projects offer life transforming interventions for all members of our local and wider community, particularly those who face the challenges of mental ill health, social isolation and unemployment. Most importantly we offer a listening ear, social contact, direct avenues to support and productive activity.
There is no referral process, just a phone call or a visit to site, thus reducing barriers and stigma and allowing timely interventions to address needs as soon as requested. Our staff take time to fully understand the circumstances and life events which have brought people to us. We then tailor support within our projects or sign post out if appropriate.
