WORKING IN PARTNERSHIP
We have positively impacted the lives of over 1000 individuals and families by offering a range of essential services. Our organisation has provided countless hours of mental health support, including therapy and befriending, to help individuals struggling with issues such as isolation, depression, and anxiety. By offering this support, we have helped people overcome their challenges and improve their overall wellbeing.
In addition to mental health support, we have also distributed over 160 tonnes of surplus food, hundreds of hygiene packs, clothing, household items, and other essentials to those in need. Through these efforts, we have not only provided individuals with basic necessities but also helped alleviate the financial burden that many families face.
Our organisation has gone beyond meeting basic needs and has also offered support to individuals facing more complex challenges such as asylum experiences, unemployment, and access to other services. By providing this support, we have helped these individuals overcome obstacles and achieve their goals.
The social impact of our work extends far beyond the individuals and families we have directly supported. By providing essential services and support, we have helped create a more equitable society where everyone has access to the resources they need to thrive.
Our work has also raised awareness about important issues such as mental health, food waste and poverty, encouraging others to take action and make a positive difference in their communities.
IMPACT STORIES
Lucy's story- one example of our inclusive lived experience support
The story of Lucy, a British woman living alone in her council flat is a powerful example of the transformative impact that the Wellness Tribe CIC can have on the lives of those who are struggling with depression, loneliness, and isolation.

Through the lived experience support, Lucy was able to connect with others who had gone through similar experiences, even though she came from a different ethnicity. This connection helped her to feel less alone and more connected to her community. It also allowed her to share her struggles with people who could relate and provide support.
The food parcels that Lucy received from us during the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent lockdowns were also incredibly important. They helped to ease the financial burden that she was facing and provided her with the basic necessities that she needed to survive.
In addition to the practical support that we provided, we also offered befriending, mentoring, and guidance.
This helped Lucy to regain her confidence and develop a sense of direction and purpose in her life. With our help, she was able to solve problems that had previously seemed insurmountable.

A family of 6 from Tanzania
The Wellness Tribe CIC is a non-profit organsation that aims to provide support and improve mental health and well-being of individuals and families in need. Our impact is felt by families like this one from Tanzania living in Newcastle Upon Tyne, who have faced many challenges.

The Wellness Tribe CIC stepped in and provided the family with much-needed support. We offered financial assistance, emotional support, and practical help like weekly food parcels.
The family felt welcomed and supported by our organisation, who demonstrated great care.
Thanks to the help of the Wellness Tribe CIC, the family was able to overcome their challenges and improve their overall well-being.

The single mother of two
Marta had always dreamed of a better life for her two children, but when she arrived in the UK three years ago, she quickly realised that the road ahead would be much more difficult than she had anticipated. As a single mother with no job, no skills, and no knowledge of the English language, Marta struggled to provide for her family.
Despite her best efforts, Marta found it nearly impossible to find employment without any qualifications or language skills. She spent most of her days searching for jobs online, but the constant rejections left her feeling hopeless and defeated.
As the weeks turned into months, Marta's situation grew increasingly dire. She struggled to put food on the table and had to rely on the kindness of strangers to help her make ends meet. Every day was a struggle, and she often found herself wondering how she would make it through another day.
That's when she discovered our help at Wellness Tribe CIC, a local community organisation dedicated to helping families in need. We welcomed Marta with open arms, providing her with food and other essential items to help her get by.
But our work at the Wellness Tribe CIC didn't stop there. We recognised that Marta needed more than just basic necessities to survive. We offered her access to training programs and language classes, helping her build the skills she needed to find a job and support her family.
Thanks to our support, Marta was able to turn her life around. She found a job, started to learn to speak English, and gained the confidence she needed to become a self-sufficient member of her community.
Today, Marta and her children are thriving. They have a stable home, food on the table, and a bright future ahead of them. And it's all thanks to the kindness and generosity of our team at Wellness Tribe CIC, because we truly care about the wellbeing of our community.
