The service delivered by DORCAS has been superb. Carmen has been instrumental in helping our community members access the gym free of charge. This initiative has been greatly appreciated by everyone and has opened up opportunities for individuals who might not have otherwise been able to access such facilities.
Many of the participants have spoken about how attending the gym has helped improve their physical health, boost their mental wellbeing, and increase their overall sense of community.
For many, it has served as a much-needed break from isolation. The Health and Wellbeing sessions, as well as the activities at West Bromwich Leisure Centre, have been highly engaging and impactful.
Carmen’s dedication and hands-on support have been key in making this happen. Her efforts in organising the sessions and working closely with our community members have helped break down barriers, fostering a sense of belonging and inclusivity.
Thanks to Carmen’s commitment, many participants have not only become more active but have also gained confidence in looking after their overall wellbeing. We are truly grateful for the ongoing partnership and look forward to continuing our collaboration for future activities.
My gratitude to DORCAS for the opportunities they have provided for the local community.
I have filled out the form, shared it with the participants, and sent you my overall evaluation of the sessions.

The partnership’s health and wellbeing initiatives for women and young adults encompassed a variety of engaging sessions and summer activities designed to enhance both physical and emotional health.
Programs such as fitness sessions at our community centre with trainers offered therapeutic movement classes, creative workshops, and family support groups, fostering a sense of community and emotional resilience.
Additionally, the gym membership provided a safe space for women to share experiences and learn valuable skills over 12 weeks.
During the summer, activities like football at Hadley encouraged physical fitness and teamwork, while the free gym and swim memberships at the West Brom Leisure Centre promoted overall wellbeing.
These initiatives not only supported women’s health but also created vital opportunities for social interaction, helping to reduce feelings of isolation and strengthen community bonds.
Committed to fostering healing and wellbeing, DORCAS offers comprehensive emotional, practical, and health support to survivors of FGM and abuse, building stronger, resilient communities for all, including asylum seekers and refugees.
