This past weekend, New Horizons was proud to take part in the You Matter mental health event at YMa.

The day, organised by Alex Davies-Jones MP, was filled with inspiring conversations and community spirit. We were delighted to meet so many attendees and share our innovative VR headsets, currently being used in an ongoing study into mindfulness-based cognitive therapy. The positive reactions from participants were fantastic to see.

We would like to extend special thanks to:

Marc Hughes (Arts Factory Rhondda) – for demonstrating the VR headsets

Pen y Cymoedd Wind Farm Community Fund CIC – for funding the VR project

The National Lottery Community Fund – for funding New Horizons

Tend VR – for designing the VR courses

The Bevan Commission – for supporting the project

Andrew Jenkins (TV’s The Traitor) – for joining us on the day

We are also grateful to our partners, Cwm Taf Morgannwg University Health Board and Rhondda Cynon Taf Council, for their continued support.

Events like You Matter highlight the importance of community connection and keeping mental health at the centre of the conversation.
