Welcome to our late spring Apollo Newsletter

We were very sad to hear of the closing down of Cherished, a Sutton Coldfield-based charity who provided mental health support, drop in sessions and in-school activities helping local young people. Since 2011, they have supported thousands of young people to connect, discover their strengths, and be themselves, through their popular Blossom and Roar projects.

We realised that there was a huge gap left by their departure so we are thrilled to announce that Apollo are partnering with Royal Sutton Coldfield Town Hall to launch 🫖 Apollo Well-being Cafe Club ☕️

This group will provide regular mental health and well-being support sessions for children and young people aged 5-25 in the heart of Sutton Coldfield on Thursday afternoons starting on 3rd July. We will provide an inclusive safe-space where you can find support, learn tips and skills, take part in an activities, have a cuppa, chill, chat, relax and just be yourself.

❤️ 🌱 🫶 🥰 🤝 🏳️‍🌈 ❤️

Sign up now as places are limited. Sessions will run from Thursday 3rd July, and continue weekly throughout the summer holidays.

Ways you can support Apollo

The cost of living crisis is hitting charities as hard as it is hitting families. Really valuable organisations are closing every day. This highlights the extraordinarily difficult times we live in.

Financial support is so hard to secure

- just when we need it the most!

The need for mental-health support across our community has soared since covid and the pressures on everyone continue to increase. Demand for our services is far higher than our current capacity and we would love to be able to help more people in our community, but we need funds to do this.

Now we need your help more than ever!!

At Apollo we provide all projects and events FREE at point of service - the only way to make them truly inclusive. However, to do this we need your support!

Donate - Thank you!
