Every picture tells a story, and as part of Self-Care September today Action for Happiness is reminding us to ‘’Enjoy photos from a time with happy memories’’.
Happy memories are something we can look back on time and time again with a smile on our faces! 😊

In addition to providing residents with support, as part of being a supported housing provider, residents are regularly given the opportunity for days out and the chance to participate in different activities.

Here are a few pictures of a previous day out for Warwick residents enjoying a golf session.

This day’s activity will be a memory many of the participants will remember for a long time to come for various reasons such as awards were given for different categories including the funniest shot of the day. 😂

Days out and activities like this are made possible due to various funding we get as Derventio Housing Trust for example through the Sylvester’s Fund, which provides small grants so that people can buy essential items they otherwise wouldn’t be able to afford, helping to support people affected by homelessness to build their confidence and achieve their goals.

Our Instagram page is full of happy memories, from staff and residents showcasing the work we do, and the positive impact it can have on residents.

👉https://www.instagram.com/derventiohousingtrust/

So today, take a moment to relive a happy memory, or even take a picture to look back on in the future to remember today!

Action For Happiness Self- Care September

Continuing the month-long reminder that self-care isn't selfish, it's essential.

Everyday there is a different reminder to look after yourself with today’s being “Make time to do something you enjoy”

As well as providing supported accommodation to individuals who would otherwise be homeless, we also run our Growing Lives project.

Based in Ilkeston this offers participants the opportunity to do something they enjoy through a range of activities on offer such as working in the garden, cooking, arts and crafts and days out including a weekly Wednesday Walk.

The highly valued day centre is also home to a bike repair and maintenance workshop.

Activities such as these all help rebuild lives torn apart by drugs, alcohol and homelessness.

With such a variety of activities on offer for participants to do, there is something to enjoy doing every day and many reasons for people to attend Growing Lives on a regular basis, helping to combat social isolation and bring structure to people’s days.

Our staff are always open to new ideas and suggestions for activities.

You can find out more at

Finally remember to take some time today to do something that you enjoy!

Today is National Suicide Prevention Day, an opportunity for people to come together, raise awareness, and take meaningful steps towards preventing suicide and supporting those who may be struggling to cope.

Globally more than 720,000 people die by suicide each year.

People can help spread awareness to prevent suicide by
• Starting a conversation about suicide even if it feels uncomfortable as it could save a life.
• Learn the warning signs as someone maybe struggling.
• Be aware of the language you use regarding suicide as some words may reinforce stigma towards suicide.
• Share helplines and resources as this may be the support a person or people need.

Derventio Housing Trust's Housing & Support Officers have regular contact with residents through weekly visits and all residents can contact staff with messages and phone calls.

This could be vital communication for people who suffer with social isolation or have very little or no regular contact with others.
Derventio also provides information and contact details to wider external services including mental health and drug and alcohol recovery.

Our aim is to support individuals to get the support they need so they ultimately have a brighter future and help to achieve their goals and aspirations.
