You are not alone. Our groups are a place to share experiences, get things off your chest, ask questions and chat with people who understand what you are going through. We offer Alzheimer's and Dementia Groups, resilience technique workshops and positive thinking, meditation classes and Macmillan cancer support groups.
Designed for both parent and pupils who need help with their educational needs. We help with skills classes and additional learning support for your child, parenting and family support, community access to IT facilities local and adult learning and career development classes.
Inspiring children and adults to enjoy plants and gardening that can give them a healthy hobby for their whole lives. Capture their interest in growing edible fruits and vegetables, and our aim is to encourage young people's understanding of the environment and the need for sustainability.
Prescribing Kindness is our motto at Bless Community Support, and sometimes people just need to be heard or meet people with similar experiences to themselves. We know that dealing with Cancer, Miscarriage, Baby Loss, Dementia, or Alzheimer’s can be a scary and lonely experience, but our groups are here to support you at this difficult time.
Meaningful friendships and lasting connections flourish in welcoming spaces, and a sense of belonging is invaluable at any age. That’s why we offer a diverse range of structured activities and community gatherings designed to bring people together. From engaging children’s Eco Allotment to social afternoons featuring bingo and tea for older adults, our programs cater to all generations.
In March 2020, the UK faced an unprecedented emergency crisis as the government announced a national lockdown in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. The sudden restrictions left many elderly and vulnerable individuals isolated, unable to access essential resources such as food, medicine, and support. Recognising the urgent need for action, a dedicated group of volunteers formed the Covid Crisis Project, a community-led initiative that provided immediate relief to those most affected.
During this critical time, the Covid Crisis Project successfully supplied over 3,000 freshly prepared meals to those in need, distributed vital food parcels, and delivered prescriptions to parishioners who were unable to leave their homes. Through these efforts, it became clear that our local area lacked sufficient community services and long-term support systems, leaving many individuals without access to essential care and connection.
Bless Community Support is a registered charity based in Upton and Hemsworth, extending our services to Hemsworth and the surrounding areas of West Yorkshire. Dedicated to fostering well-being, education, and social inclusion.
Our mission is to create a safe and welcoming space where individuals of all ages can come together, access support, and participate in enriching programs that enhance their quality of life. We believe that everyone deserves the opportunity to connect, learn, and thrive, regardless of their circumstances. That’s why we offer a wide range of free workshops and activities designed to empower both young people and the elderly. Whether it’s skill-building sessions, wellness initiatives, or social engagement programs, Bless Community Support is committed to making a meaningful impact in the lives of those we serve.
