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.

The Monster of Consett

Lucas, Jacob, Jayden, Alan, and Roan collaborated in groups to explore the deep impact of Consett Steelworks on their local community, uncovering both its positive and negative influences. They then transformed their insights into a powerful poem, capturing what it was like to live in Consett at that time.

Dealing With Anxiety

At aged 11, my son suffered a breakdown of mental health, and was off school for pretty much 4 years. He has never spoken about what he has been through these last few years openly, but yesterday wrote a blog and presented me with his account, and wanted it shared. This is his story.
