BKRG OUTREACH
Here you will find out about our outreach projects and all the latest news and updates.
One of the key aims of Blackwood and Kirkmuirhill Resilience group is to promote physical and mental well-being. Taking care of your mind as well as your body is really important and has a big impact on how we think and feel & during times like now it can be easy to fall into unhealthy patterns of thoughts & behaviours that can make us feel worse.
Over the coming weeks we aim to launch a number of projects that are designed to get different people groups involved in various actives to help stay connected and carry on doing things that we all enjoy doing and that help us to keep focused and positive.
We want to build a sense of trust, safety, togetherness and pride in our community - so please help us by getting involved and having fun!

Messages of Hope
​
Messages of Hope is announced every Tuesday on our Facebook page. The aim of the project is to cheer people up who are isolating and let them know we are thinking of them. Both children and adults can either: write letters, poems and even draw pictures of hope, these can be placed into our messages of hope postbox which is located out side the team response base at the parish church. The emergency response team will collect your messages from the box and place them into people who are isolating shopping bags. Click the buttons for more
