Welcome to Make a Move!
Movement always leads to change
Make a Move is a charity that helps people make positive changes in their lives and improve their mental health using movement, music, mindfulness and a range of other creative and therapeutic techniques.
Our Projects
What we do
Make a Move has developed a pioneering way of working with people to improve their mental state. We support people with social, emotional and physiological difficulties, and work with them so they can experience positive mental health.
Working with Mums
Make a Move runs regular programmes in and around Bath and North East Somerset, working with mothers with low mood and perinatal depression. Our programmes offer music, movement and therapeutic talking sessions to help mothers recover.
Working with Children
Make a Move is very proud of the work it does with children. We cultivate the learning independence and attainment of severely disadvantaged primary school pupils across South Bristol and Bath and North East Somerset.
Working with Older people
Make a Move is a dementia-friendly charity, working with older people and their carers to improve vitality, self-expression, relaxation, alertness, self-esteem and social connection and alleviate anxiety.
Working with Learning Disabilities
We work with other charities to improve employment and volunteering opportunities for young adults with learning disabilities by helping to improve their social skills and, consequently, their social lives.
Working with Business
We offer creative workshops for companies to support culture change and provide employees with preventative strategies to manage stress. Our unique approach combines both physical and mental aspects of wellbeing.
