Burnham charity Somewhere House Somerset celebrates 10th anniversary
anniversary.
Launched in Burnham in 2011, Somewhere House Somerset is a small charity that provides therapeutic counselling, educational workshops and community projects for people in Burnham, Highbridge, Cheddar, Bridgwater and local schools.
Trustee Rob Jones says: “It was started after someone close to one of the trustees was really struggling. The founders of the charity, Angie and Dave Clarke, got their heads together and asked some of their staff and friends: ‘What can we do to help? Is there a wider community need?’ And so Somewhere House Somerset evolved.”
Throughout the last 10 years, tens of thousands of hours of support have been offered on both a one-to-one and group basis.
Burnham-On-Sea Slimming World consultants promote restart of weight loss service
Two Burnham-On-Sea Slimming World consultants have aimed to spread a little magic in the town centre by dressing as unicorns to promote the restart of their weight loss service.
Karen and Shell want to let residents know that Slimming World’s groups in Burnham are back up and running after the lockdowns with Covid-safe, socially-distanced sessions at Burnham-On-Sea Baptist Church in College Street.
The groups, which run on Thursday evenings and Friday mornings, have been open for a month, with members returning to shed their lockdown weight gains, and get the support of Karen and Shell.
