  Speaker 1: people in the mood now when you've got to like well,
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: back in the days it was ladies only, but we

• 1:03
  Speaker 4: Yeah. So here at South Kent Mind, we're a local
• 1:06
  Speaker 4: mental health charity here to support anyone with mental health
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: challenges in our community. We're dedicated to improving the lives
• 1:11
  Speaker 4: of people with any challenges to do with mental health.
• 1:14
  Speaker 4: Is South Kent guiding you along a path to better
• 1:17
  Speaker 4: mental health through a range of support services such as money, guidance,
• 1:21
  Speaker 4: advice and the range of weekly activities that you mentioned.
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: Okay, so the weekly activities, whereabouts to do those and
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: where do they entail?
• 1:30
  Speaker 3: Yeah?
• 1:31
  Speaker 4: So, each week we run a range of activities across
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: Folks and Hive and Dover that are fun and formative
• 1:36
  Speaker 4: and aim to support all our service users on a
• 1:40
  Speaker 4: longer path to better mental health. Our cooking and baking sessions,
• 1:44
  Speaker 4: which are really popular, take place in our Folks and
• 1:46
  Speaker 4: Center which is at the top of ton Time Street
• 1:48
  Speaker 4: where we have the Abercrombie's Cafe where all of our
• 1:51
  Speaker 4: cooking and.
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: Baking takes place.
• 1:53
  Speaker 4: We'll also have a reading group in Hive, Mindfulness and
• 1:55
  Speaker 4: sessions and deal and a walk and talk in Dover,
• 1:57
  Speaker 4: just to name a few. So we spread all across
• 1:59
  Speaker 4: the South Kent area and all on the community that
• 2:02
  Speaker 4: we serve. And if you're interested in any of these
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: weekly activities, you can see our websites South Kentmind or
• 2:08
  Speaker 4: dot uk and give us a ring to acquire first
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: about joining.
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: SO South Kent Mind. It covers a lot of areas.
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: I mean, if people how far out does it go?
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: And if you like along the Marsh, you've got branches
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: in where.
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, So really it's spanning from Sandwich to Dungeoness. So
• 2:25
  Speaker 4: if you're a resident within the Folks and High District
• 2:27
  Speaker 4: Council area and the Dover District Council area, we're here support.
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: We're here to support you with any mental health problems
• 2:32
  Speaker 4: that you may have.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: So along those areas.
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: Okay, I know you linked up with the National Mind
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: the organization.
• 2:39
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so it's an important it's an important distinction to
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: get across Kevin because although we're affiliated with National Mind,
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: we're actually a totally independent mental health charity. So what
• 2:48
  Speaker 4: what essentially is is that we're federated with Mind, but
• 2:51
  Speaker 4: we're run by our own constitution, have a board of
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: trustees which allows us to support and represent our community
• 2:56
  Speaker 4: in the best possible way. But that obviously means that
• 3:00
  Speaker 4: we're totally funded independently too, so we rely on the
• 3:03
  Speaker 4: generous donations of fundraising support from our local community. So
• 3:07
  Speaker 4: that's essentially my role to engage that fundraising element and
• 3:11
  Speaker 4: really sort of engage in the local community in fundraising.
• 3:14
  Speaker 4: So if you're planning any challenge events and you'd be
• 3:16
  Speaker 4: interested in working with a great cause, supporting a great cause,
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: and please do get in touch. All of our contact
• 3:23
  Speaker 4: details on our website southnkminder or dot UK or through
• 3:26
  Speaker 4: our feel free to check us out in our social
• 3:28
  Speaker 4: media channels as well.
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: Right now, we're going to talk about this later. But
• 3:31
  Speaker 1: you've got a lovely local challenge coming up. I'm really
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: looking forward to this one because it's right up my street.
• 3:37
  Speaker 1: But we'll never chet about that. Just after a bit
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: of music. But carrying on, let's talk about I'm mean mind,
• 3:44
  Speaker 1: have they got any charity shops?
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we actually have three charity shops across the South
• 3:49
  Speaker 4: Kent area. We got Shops and Folks and Hive and
• 3:52
  Speaker 4: Dover run by an amazing team of volunteers and led
• 3:55
  Speaker 4: by brilliant managers.
• 3:56
  Speaker 3: So our high shops on the high streets.
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: It actually turned nine years this year and our Dover
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: Folks and shops both opened last year. It's a really
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: busy year for the charity last year as we opened
• 4:08
  Speaker 4: our Dover shop in August twenty three. That can be
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: found on forty four big in Street and our Folks
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: and Shop opened in December twenty twenty three and is
• 4:15
  Speaker 4: on a forty six Sandgate Road. So who shout out
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: to everyone involved with the opening of those shops and
• 4:21
  Speaker 4: the every day running because they play a vital role
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: in raising funds for our charity and it takes the
• 4:26
  Speaker 4: support of donations from the public to keep those shops
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: alive because you know, the proceeds are a vital aspect
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: of our charity. And if you're thinking of a clearout
• 4:37
  Speaker 4: before Christmas or even after, if you get something you
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: don't like, you can drop off your donations at our shops.
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: All the information can be found our websites, or if
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: you acquire a collection, you can find you find our
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: phone number on our website, give us a ring and
• 4:51
  Speaker 4: we can arrange a collection of your of your donations.
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Okay, So the shops, etc. And a lot of organized
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: like Mind, do rely on volunteers. So tell us a
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: little bit about volunteers and if you like, how many
• 5:07
  Speaker 1: people do actually engage with Mind at the shops and elsewhere.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, So the.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: Volunteering side of our charities is true. Like with many
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: chainity is the backbone of our charity. We can run
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: our sessions, our shops, everything that we do without our volunteers,
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: which we have seventy three registered volunteers across our charity
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: and we couldn't help the people that we do without them,
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: so huge thanks to every single one of them.
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: And if you're looking to.
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: Become a volunteer, this would be a great help to
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: our charity.
• 5:36
  Speaker 3: If you're looking to get involved with.
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: Our sessions in our shops or just help out our
• 5:40
  Speaker 4: fundraising events, then feel free to get in touch on
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: our website or through our social media channels as well
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: you can find the information. But if you're not looking
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: to do a full time volunteering role, we also have
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: a great ambassador program where you can essentially means that
• 5:55
  Speaker 4: just give up a few hours of your time each
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: year to help out with a few projects that we
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: have on a few events, a few fundraising events such
• 6:03
  Speaker 4: as you know mental health fun run coming up. So
• 6:06
  Speaker 4: it's a bit less intense than being a volunteer full time,
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: but it still allows you to be a real great
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: help to our charity.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Okay, now I.
• 6:14
  Speaker 1: Will say I did pick up that somebody put on
• 6:17
  Speaker 1: social media that if you're having a clearout, then instead
• 6:21
  Speaker 1: of getting after getting rid of all your toys and
• 6:23
  Speaker 1: bits and pieces for the kids after Christmas, why not
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: get rid of them before Christmas? Wouln't that be a
• 6:28
  Speaker 1: good idea to just like you have all your shops
• 6:31
  Speaker 1: absolutely bulging with Christmas toys and things just before Christmas
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: instead of the big aftermath you get afterwards. So before
• 6:39
  Speaker 1: we go any further, let's tell us about the people
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: that use your services.
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely, Ken, So we have.
• 6:46
  Speaker 4: Last year we had over twenty five hundred local people
• 6:49
  Speaker 4: use our services, and we're always seeing new people in
• 6:53
  Speaker 4: our folks at Center and across our services, which is
• 6:57
  Speaker 4: really important because it just shows to us that we're
• 6:59
  Speaker 4: really aging with our community and helping with their mental health,
• 7:02
  Speaker 4: which is obviously the whole point of our charity. We
• 7:05
  Speaker 4: also visited many local schools and supported pupils and young
• 7:08
  Speaker 4: people last year. That's a great program that we have.
• 7:12
  Speaker 4: Visiting local schools. Helping young children with their mental health
• 7:15
  Speaker 4: is such an important age to get into, to get
• 7:18
  Speaker 4: into them about and stress the importance of good mental
• 7:21
  Speaker 4: health and focusing on themselves. But we're dedicated to supporting
• 7:25
  Speaker 4: as many people as possible. There's many people who need
• 7:27
  Speaker 4: us in our communities. So get in touch if you
• 7:30
  Speaker 4: need help with your mental health, if you're struggling with
• 7:33
  Speaker 4: if you have mental health challenges, please do get in
• 7:35
  Speaker 4: touch and see how we can help you.
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: Do you know what I've bit on a point there.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: Visiting schools I think is so important now for youngsters
• 7:44
  Speaker 1: because perhaps back in my day, if you like, if
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: people have mental health problems, the children didn't quite understand it.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: But now there's more awareness, isn't there, And it's good
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: to get the children talking about it.
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: Yeah, definitely, Kevin.
• 7:56
  Speaker 4: There's so much more awareness and so much better understanding
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: around mental health and how to improve it and how
• 8:02
  Speaker 4: to how to combat feelings that in the past weren't
• 8:05
  Speaker 4: really understood. And it's so important that that when people
• 8:09
  Speaker 4: are feeling emotions that you know, are confusing, are challenging them,
• 8:14
  Speaker 4: it's important to speak out and to seek services that
• 8:17
  Speaker 4: can really help you. And I think that's the sort
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: of real step that's occurred in the last years or
• 8:21
  Speaker 4: obviously generationally, that that really is important towards better mental
• 8:26
  Speaker 4: health for everyone.
• 8:27
  Speaker 2: Okay, Joe, we're going to take a little break now.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: Played a bit of music, and then we're going to
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: come back because we've got to talk about a little
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: fund runners coming up. Well, there's all this conversation there.
• 8:57
  Speaker 1: Do you know what I was trying to find a
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: song in a playlist anything to do with ELFs and elves.
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: There was no chance so yet to sit all for
• 9:07
  Speaker 1: Elvis Presley Dear, they've got it straight ahead of Christmas
• 9:11
  Speaker 1: Cracker that one. Anyway, let's go back and continue our
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: chat with Joe Tolhurst. Okay, so welcome back Joe, and
• 9:18
  Speaker 1: now we've learned about the background and what you do
• 9:23
  Speaker 1: here at South Kent. Mind, but you've another event coming
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: up on December one, so tell us all about that.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: We do we do?
• 9:30
  Speaker 4: So yeah, on the first of December, Kevin, we're hosting
• 9:33
  Speaker 4: a family, fun focused run or jog or even walk
• 9:36
  Speaker 4: event along the LEAs. It's a five kilometer course roughly
• 9:39
  Speaker 4: following the local park run route, open to all ages
• 9:42
  Speaker 4: and ability and hint of the name, it's called mental Elf.
• 9:45
  Speaker 4: So we're strongly and encouraging all participants to dress up
• 9:48
  Speaker 4: in their best elf attire.
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: Well that's great.
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: I mean Christmas time people kind of step outside the salves,
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: doesn't they and they don't really care what they look like,
• 9:58
  Speaker 1: especially if we're all in it together. So okay, so
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: it's a five k run. Have you done one of
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: these before?
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: Personally?
• 10:05
  Speaker 4: Yeah, a couple of them through the years, but as
• 10:08
  Speaker 4: a charity, we haven't organized something on this scale before.
• 10:11
  Speaker 4: So it's so it's a real it's a real, great
• 10:13
  Speaker 4: opportunity for us to to get out there in the charity,
• 10:17
  Speaker 4: with the charity and do something different, engaged in the
• 10:19
  Speaker 4: local community.
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: And does it take as it?
• 10:23
  Speaker 1: Have you hit any barriers you know on the way
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: to organizing this? Is it a logistical night there or
• 10:28
  Speaker 1: has it been a piece of cake?
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: Well, I would say a piece of cake.
• 10:31
  Speaker 4: But you know, this is our first year organizing, so
• 10:34
  Speaker 4: there's been lots to get our heads around as a team.
• 10:36
  Speaker 4: But thankfully we have a brilliant network of other local
• 10:39
  Speaker 4: minds we've provided guidance around navigating this event. We also
• 10:42
  Speaker 4: received valuable advice and guidance from our friends at Channel Rotary,
• 10:46
  Speaker 4: especially mister Bill Flavel, whose experienced organizing events such as this,
• 10:50
  Speaker 4: was a huge help, along with of course their generous
• 10:53
  Speaker 4: assistance with lending a gazebo for our registration desk on
• 10:56
  Speaker 4: the day, along with a group of volunteers who will
• 10:58
  Speaker 4: marshal the course. So a big thank you to every
• 11:00
  Speaker 4: U involved there and of course big thanks to the
• 11:02
  Speaker 4: council who helped with arranging all the applications that we need,
• 11:05
  Speaker 4: which you know it was a great experience doing and
• 11:08
  Speaker 4: with of course helping organize the use of the band
• 11:11
  Speaker 4: stand of the day which is where, which is where
• 11:12
  Speaker 4: you are DJ Compare will be on the day.
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's my job. But I've been on the bands
• 11:17
  Speaker 1: then it's quite hardy. Actually, ive's porn a rhino. I'm
• 11:20
  Speaker 1: the only dry person on the lease. So what can
• 11:23
  Speaker 1: we expect on the day.
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: Yeah, on the day, Kevin, we're looking to open registration
• 11:27
  Speaker 4: from ten to thirty am, So everyone wh's bought ticket
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: turn up from ten thirty am to register and pick
• 11:33
  Speaker 4: up your race number from our registration desk, which.
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: Will be at the Leees Cliff Hall.
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: From then there will alter grab a coffee or a
• 11:39
  Speaker 4: drink or even a cake if you can start without
• 11:42
  Speaker 4: for the run before or after from a mobile vendor
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: who will be there on the day. Huge thanks to
• 11:48
  Speaker 4: the Truffle Pig of high for helping out on that one.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: Then from eleven thirty we'll have music playing from the
• 11:53
  Speaker 4: bandstand and the warm up session to make sure no
• 11:56
  Speaker 4: one pulls a muscle on the run. And then the
• 11:58
  Speaker 4: run proper will begin from twelve and it'll be from
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: the bandstand and we'll follow a version of the route
• 12:04
  Speaker 4: the five kilometers apart run routes, So from the bandstand
• 12:07
  Speaker 4: up towards Sandgate to the end of the lease, turn around,
• 12:10
  Speaker 4: head all the way along the Lease towards the Memorial
• 12:13
  Speaker 4: Arch and then back again to that first turnaround point
• 12:16
  Speaker 4: and then back to the bandstand where you started. So
• 12:19
  Speaker 4: it's a five kilometer course, but there's no obligation to
• 12:21
  Speaker 4: complete the whole distance or even to run or jog,
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: as you can.
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: Walk part of the course if you'd like.
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: It's all about having fun and supporting South Kent mind,
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: which is you know, which is the whole point of
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: fundraisers like this, and we yeah, we're really look forward it.
• 12:36
  Speaker 4: So after the run we'll give everyone their medals as
• 12:41
  Speaker 4: of course everyone gets a medal for taking parts and
• 12:43
  Speaker 4: hand out some of the awards for the best dressed
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: elves on the day, So big incentive to dress up there.
• 12:49
  Speaker 1: Right, good, It sounds like it's going to be fun,
• 12:50
  Speaker 1: but I mean for families, you're right to bring the
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: buggies and the dogs along.
• 12:55
  Speaker 4: Yeah. Of course, of course both dogs, buggies and wheelchairs
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: will allowed, but we asked that dogs a kittle and
• 13:01
  Speaker 4: lead don't interfere with other runners and with wheelchairs and pushchairs.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: People are especially especially careful and aware of other participants
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: doing the run.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: So that's good. And so you haven't been doing this
• 13:12
  Speaker 1: on your own. Obviously there's a team of you. So
• 13:15
  Speaker 1: is anyone you want to thank for helping you out?
• 13:17
  Speaker 3: Quite a few, Kevin. With these things, they don't happen individually.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: It's all so big thanks to the staff, trustees, volunteers
• 13:25
  Speaker 4: everyone here at South Kentmind who helped organize the event
• 13:27

  Speaker 4: on the first of December. Again big thanks to Channel
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: Rotary for their help and advice in the build up
