Fenland District Council along with Cambs County Council Officers attended our Market Square today.

The idea is to welcome the community to come together to talk to us about their feelings, if they need any help and support, one exercise is to ask them to write on a post it note who they would turn to for support and see if there are any gaps we can help signpost with.

The event is open to those of all ages, with different experiences, many people I have spoken to have found just leaving the house a traumatic experience.

I attended for 2+ hours and came across Ms A…. who I was aware had lost her partner recently – she came to see and hear what the team could offer, there was a number of others who had also recently suffered emotional and mental stress recently.
The event was seen  as very successful and it is hoped another one will be held later in the year.

Through Cambs CCC – The Community Engagement Bus will be on the Market Square from 10:00 to 15:00 Friday 05th. Anyone can come along and either talk or signpost any concerns regarding those who are seemed to be isolated, lonely or vulnerable to the team.
I will be there for some of the time to support the group.
