Suicide Awareness Morning

Our club were invited to attend a Suicide Awareness Coffee Morning  hosted by The Thirty Knots Restaurant on the morning of Friday the 2nd October to provide the guests with some awareness about Rotary. 

Neil McKinlay our Membership Team convenor gave a brief overview of Rotary, our international strategic aims including supporting mental health well being and the various community activities we are involved with at club level. He also explained how being involved in an organisation like Rotary does enhance the  mental health wellbeing of our members through good fun and fellowship and pride in making a real difference in the community through our various fund raising initiatives and projects.

Other groups and agencies who attended were Andysmanclub and the Heath in Mind team who explained to the guests  the services and support they provide to help individuals who may be struggling.

A raffle was held to raise funds to support mental health support groups.

An added bonus of attending this very worthwhile event is we may have a potential new member.
