Mental Health Awareness Week is an annual event (taking place from 12th – 18th May) which gives an opportunity for the whole of the UK to focus on achieving good mental health. There are lots of activities and training opportunities taking place in Bath.

The amazing work that individuals and organisations do across Bath and North East Somerset to improve the lives of others has been recognised in this year’s Community Awards.

Community Catalysts have been offering vital help to micro-enterprises supporting families living with or affected by dementia. If you or your family are looking for support and advice, the Alzheimer’s Society is running Dementia Action Week from 19th – 25th May 2025.

April is National Pet Month. Pets play a significant role in our lives, providing companionship, a purpose to get up in the morning, and someone to talk to.

As we start 2025, what will the new year bring you? A new career maybe? How about an opportunity to work for yourself and make a meaningful difference to people in your community?

Looking for a new job after a career break, seeking a career change, or wanting to work for an age-friendly employer? Or thinking about volunteering in your community?

Next week (23rd to 29th September) is Professional Care Workers’ Week, which recognises and celebrates the invaluable contributions that care workers give to the health and wellbeing of vulnerable people in our community.

If you are a resident in BANES and want help with setting up and running your own business, you can access free support and advice from Cool Ventures.

Community Catalysts is supporting thousands of community micro-enterprises across the UK who help provide a light to the lives of people living alone. 30th July is ‘International Day of Friendship’, and what better way of celebrating this special day than by giving time to call in on people in your community who are living alone?

This week is national Carers Week (10th–16th June 2024), and a wide range of charities and local services will be coming together to shine a light on the vital role that carers play in supporting vulnerable people in the community.

This week is Loneliness Awareness Week (10th – 16th June 2024) and aims to shine a light on the issues around loneliness and how it can affect our mental health.

Cool Ventures are helping hundreds of Bath & North East Somerset small businesses to start, grow, and thrive.
