Our Journey ,Our vision, Our Thanks. The Wellness Hub.

Good morning, everyone! My name is Leisa Burniston, and I am honored to be the Chief Officer of Next Steps Mental Health Resource Centre in Ryedale. This charity has been dedicated to supporting our community for over 24 years and has continuously evolved its services to meet the changing needs of the people it serves.

I am thrilled to share some incredible news with you. After years of hard work and determination, we have finally achieved our goal of owning our own building! This is a huge milestone for us, and it opens up endless possibilities for how we can better serve our community.

Our vision is to create a vibrant, 24-hour well-being hub in our new building, open seven days a week. This hub will serve as a unifying platform, bringing together local networking agencies and community groups under one roof. It’s about fostering a supportive and collaborative environment for all.

Located conveniently near bus and train stations, with a free car park opposite, our building is situated in the prime place. Our goal now is to raise funds to transform this space into an inspirational and inclusive hub for our community. We want to open our doors to other local groups and charities, offering them the opportunity to work within our building at an affordable rent, all for the betterment of our community.

We envision the building as a hub of support and empowerment, offering evening classes, family support sessions, safe spaces, meeting rooms, and prayer rooms, all nestled around our community café. Additionally, we provide essential services such as washing, drying, and shower facilities, one-on-one support, and access to our IT Suite, ensuring that our services reach every corner of rural Ryedale.

Keep an eye out for our upcoming fundraisers to help us reach the next stage of our refurbishment journey. With your support, we can turn this dream into a reality. Let’s collaborate to create a space that will truly make a difference in the lives of many.

Thank you for your unwavering support and for joining us on this amazing journey! Your contributions have been invaluable, and we look forward to continuing this journey with you.
