Sent on behalf of the Communities Team
Dear Town and Parish Council Clerks,
Mindful Towns/Villages
The Breckland Council Inspiring Communities ‘Mindful Towns’ project is offering free mental health champion training to all Breckland-based community organisations and small businesses as part of a drive to recruit 250 Mental Health Champions over the next 18 months, and in an attempt to offer support to any of our towns and villages that are interested, to become recognised as being ‘Mindful’ places to live and work.
The first tranche of opportunities is being delivered face-to-face in each of the 5 market towns of Thetford, Swaffham, Watton, Dereham, and Attleborough between Nov 25th 2021 to April 29th 2022, and offers 3 different training options ranging from 2 hour workshops, to 2 day courses, in an attempt to make the program as accessible as possible to all groups and interested parties.
We are sharing this information with you to serve as an invitation to all of your councillors, small businesses, and community organisations, to sign up to any of the training opportunities that they might be interested in. Places are limited, but all interested parties can access all the essential information regarding the ‘Mindful Towns’ project – course content, dates, times, locations, and online booking portal – by clicking on the link below:

Invitation
Furthermore, should any councils wish to learn more about the Inspiring Communities program and/or Mindful Town project, one of our team will be happy to give you a call, reply to an email, or arrange to visit one of your meetings to give an overview and answer any questions that you may have. Should any of the above be of interest please forward all enquiries to [email protected]
We look forward to hearing from you soon, and welcoming you at one of our training events in the coming months.
With kind regards,
Stefan
