The Sandcastle Trust is delighted to announce it has been awarded £160,323 in National Lottery Reaching Communities funding!

Over the next three years, this transformative funding will support the creation of a vibrant and inclusive digital cafe, offering a welcoming online space for connection, shared experience, emotional support and wellbeing-based activities. Launching later this year, the Sandcastle Connections Café will offer moderated discussions, volunteer-led activities, and interactive sessions inspired by the Five Ways to Wellbeing. Whether through a book club, yoga classes, informal chat, or structured peer groups, users will be able to access emotional wellbeing support in the way that suits them best.

We are incredibly grateful to The National Lottery Community Fund for awarding us this funding and to everyone who plays the National Lottery for making it possible.
