NBIL Easter HAF Football Camp

New Beginnings – Improving Lives CIC was set up in November 2019 by Director and Founder Michelle Roach a former NHS worker with lived in experience of mental health and cancer. ​ NBIL was primarily set up as a Social prescribing and advocacy service to support and signpost people who were unable to access services or express their views and wishes. This service is our main core project. ​ In February 2020 We set up a Men’s Mental Health Boxing and Peer support group due to a lack of services in the area to refer Men into. Men’s suicide has always been higher then that of women but both are on the increase, rising by 10.9% in 2018. We had services we could readily refer into for women we didn’t for Men. We couldn’t get funding to start a group despite the need and lack of services across the city we self funded the program. This is an ongoing service and our aim is to continue this great service due to its success and uptake. NBIL CIC has and adapted and changed over the years due to the demand in need and in our communities. Our core groups as of 2024 are as follows, Emergency Foodbank HAF Out of school activities Community store Mobile pantry Boxwell Liverpool Support/Signposting Free weekly community meal You can find up to date information of all our programs via our website www.nbil-community.org
