Weights & Cakes CIC

If we want to truly prevent crime & reduce it in the long-term, we need more funding for frontline services now to support the most vulnerable. Better support at the earliest stage, & the demand on policing & mental health services will significantly reduce in the long run. 3/3

Was fab to hear an update from them this week around their ongoing work, & their plans to positively change even more lives for the better. They though, like so many others, are seeing increased demand from both young people & adults, but less funding & support available. 2/3

🏋️‍♀️ I absolutely love the work @Weights_Cakes do in Southwick - a hub in the heart of the community that is so much more than just a weightlifting club. From youth mentoring to counselling, family support to nutritional advice, projects to increase inclusivity and much more. 1/3
