BITMO has teamed up with YourSpace at Touchstone to create a new group for women at the GATE. The women’s group focuses on women’s health matters, safety, friendships, and relationships. The group is relaxed, friendly and welcoming of new members. The group meets each week on Thursdays at the GATE between 4.30pm to 6.30pm. Children are welcome (please note, they must remain under your supervision as childcare isn’t provided). Let us know you’re coming by calling Carla at the Community and Tenant Support Team on 0113 378 2190 or email gate@belleisletmo.co.uk

BITMO’s Board has opened a new Winter Warmth Fund for this winter. The Board understand the cost of living crisis that is affecting many people and have allocated money from their budget to pay for goods that can help you and your family keep warm this winter.
BITMO households in need of extra support can apply for a winter warmth pack which will contain large fleecy sherpa blankets, hot water bottles with covers and fleecy socks, with the amounts depending on how many people are in our household.
