Happy 40th Birthday to Rendles of Consett!

Know Your Neighbourhood Project / August 19th, 2024

Happy 40th Birthday to Rendles, Consett!

On their 40th Birthday, Building Self-Belief would like to say a huge thank you to Rendles store for their excellent products, service and support they have given us over the past year, to help us deliver our Household Support Fund.

A Decent Bed!

Having a decent bed isn’t a great deal to ask. Nevertheless, in relation to our recent project linked to the Household Support Fund through Point North (County Durham Community Foundation) what we have realised is how not having a decent bed is a real problem for many families in the local area. Therefore, we are absolutely delighted to be in a position to help our local people and families and buy them new beds.

Happy 40th Birthday

As part of the project we have used local businesses, where possible, and Rendles have been amazing. We have bought bunk beds, double beds, single beds and mattresses all to help our families in need. Within a few hours we have the order placed and the delivery arranged. Rendles is our go to shop for the beds for the community.

Rob said ‘It has been a real honour to support such a great initiative and we would also like to thank Building Self-Belief for their custom. Getting the support from our community is what has made our business such a success over the past 40 years!”

Recipients of the new beds

"I am so grateful to have two new beds for my boys. It has made such a difference for them, and they are definitely sleeping better!"

Thank you

A huge thank you to Rob and the team at Rendles for their excellent service!

We wold also like to thank Point North for their support. Having the Household Support Fund has been such a bonus for Building Self-Belief this year. Whereas in previous years we have had to signpost families in need to other charities for help with such items, it has been great to have the funds to be able to help our families directly. 

If you need some support, or know of someone who is struggling, please get in touch.

Teenage Emotional Wellbeing and Environmental Engagement

Our project used environmental, and creative arts related activities, to support the young people’s emotional wellbeing and self-confidence. The programme’s activities developed their arts-based skills and also included visits to Haystax Inclusive Farm Experience in County Durham, where they participated in a range of environmental based activities.

Consett Heritage Project / July 24th, 2023

Consett Visited by Royalty - Who Knew?

Our Consett Heritage Project is really gaining momentum, and what we love about it is the connectivity that it creates across the community and across the age groups. One of our volunteers, Maisie Dobson interviewed her 96-year-old great grandma, Jean Simmons, for the project and uncovered a royal mystery.
