The Archer Project

Eid Mubarak! Wishing our beneficiaries, volunteers, supporters and communities celebrating a happy Eid al-Fitr ✨💛🌙

Tomorrow is Mother's Day – a day to celebrate mothers and mother figures, whilst remembering this is an occasion many people may struggle with. We're thinking of... ❤️ Mothers facing homelessness 💚 Anyone who never had a mother figure 💛 Anyone who is a mother figure to others ❤️ Anyone with strained mother/child relationships 💚 Mothers grieving lost children 💛 Anyone grieving lost mothers ❤️ Mothers who have experienced child removal 💚 Anyone who has been removed from their mothers 💛 Step mothers  ❤️ Foster mothers  💚 Lone/single mothers  💛 Anyone struggling to conceive or unable to be mothers If you know anyone struggling with the above, reach out and let them know they are not alone.

Thank you so much to everyone who attending The Archer Project networking event earlier this week. We had a great time chatting to our long term supporters and also seeing some new faces! As always a big thank you to Henry Boot for their wonderful hospitality and Chloe Janes for your support! 😊

🌟 Update: Our Team's Charity Challenge! 🌟 Hey there, amazing humans! 😄 In just 15 days, our fantastic team members Chloe Griffiths Emma Beech Lauren Blyden James Norris Elzbieta Koseska Andy Wright BEng (Hons) will be tackling the Yorkshire Three Peaks for The Archer Project! The training has been quite an adventure—let’s just say we’re all a bit worried about “mountain demise”! 😂 But all jokes aside, this is for a great cause, and we’d love your support. If you like our team (and want to keep the guys alive 😉), consider sponsoring them. Every little bit helps, and your generosity would mean the world to us! 💖 Thank you for being fabulous and supporting our team! Now, it’s back to cardio—and yes, we’re very serious about that potential mountain demise! 😜🏔️ Big hugs from your MRMK team! 🤗 https://lnkd.in/eySYR9ha

Recently, we’ve been nurturing relationships with the local community and would love to meet even more incredible people. If you’re involved in a community group, place of worship or a school, we’d love to hear from you. Here’s what we can offer: 🌱 Engaging talks and presentations about homelessness and the people we support 🌱 Discussion groups 🌱 Tours of our Project to learn more about how we support people experiencing homelessness Ella Capstick: If you’d like to get involved, please contact me at ella@archerproject.org.uk – I can’t wait to hear your ideas, and maybe you’ll be in our next Community Corner post!

Getting off the street isn't the end of experiencing homelessness. It's really important the people we support have access to group activities that promote belonging, confidence, and self-worth as part of progression and recovery from homelessness. In 2024, 94 individuals we support at The Archer Project took part in 205 activities! Some of the regular sessions included: 🗣️ Peer Mentor led discussion groups 🧠 Mindfulness 🐴 Pony therapy Some of the days out were: 🌱 Blackberry picking 🐚 A trip to the seaside 🎳 Bowling 🧗 Abseiling 🥾 Hiking 🤺 A visit to Leeds Armoury Museum Your support makes these wellbeing activities possible – please donate today at https://lnkd.in/g2BxUbNy
