During the financial year, Rejuven8 Kokor0 CIC has continued to deliver community-focused wellbeing services aimed at improving the physical, social, and emotional health of individuals, families, and veterans. Our work has particularly supported people living in disadvantaged circumstances, within a borough recognised as the second most deprived in the UK. We provide inclusive wellbeing services and quality goods at fair or, where appropriate, free prices, ensuring accessibility regardless of income, age, or background. Our approach prioritises prevention, early intervention, and peer support to reduce isolation, improve mental health, and strengthen community resilience. One of our most impactful initiatives has been the Walking & Talking programme, delivered prior to the pandemic. This project encouraged open conversations around mental health while engaging participants in regular physical activity. The programme achieved strong community engagement, with consistent attendance from adults aged 22 to 58. Many participants returned regularly, reporting improved mental wellbeing and confidence, which led to organised group walks and countryside day trips that further enhanced social connection and physical health. Our gym based wellbeing sessions successfully engaged individuals particularly young men aged 18 to 35 who are often harder to reach through traditional mental health services. These sessions combined structured exercise with informal peer-led discussions over tea or coffee, providing a safe space for men to express emotions, reduce isolation, and support one another. The programme also included occasional participants aged 40 to 56 and proved effective in promoting positive coping strategies and community connection. Support for veterans has been a core focus throughout the year. We delivered tailored services including infrared sauna therapy, flotation therapy, and one-to-one boxing and Thai boxing sessions. These interventions supported veterans experiencing PTSD, stress, and other service-related challenges, helping them build confidence, regulate emotions, and manage mental health symptoms. Veterans were also encouraged to form their own walking and gym groups, fostering peer support and long-term engagement. Through collaboration with established veterans’ charities, we supported individuals in recovery from alcohol and substance misuse as part of a holistic rehabilitation pathway. Our infrared sauna therapy proved highly popular across all community groups. Participants aged 18 to 65 reported significant benefits, particularly those living with chronic pain conditions such as arthritis. Many individuals experienced improved mobility, reduced pain, and enhanced overall wellbeing. Flotation therapy was especially effective for individuals experiencing anxiety and mental health difficulties. Participants frequently reported feeling calmer, more relaxed, and emotionally balanced following sessions. Veterans in recovery from addiction also benefited from flotation therapy as part of their wider treatment and recovery plans. We also introduced the use of virtual reality -VR technology to support relaxation prior to flotation therapy. Immersive environments such as woodland and beach settings helped individuals with anxiety and mental health challenges feel more at ease, improving engagement and outcomes. In order to ensure our services are inclusive and accessible, Rejuven8 Kokor0 CIC sponsored and supported a Deaf conference, adapting our wellbeing provision to meet the needs of Deaf participants. This included ensuring communication accessibility and creating a sensory-friendly environment so Deaf individuals could fully engage with wellbeing activities and discussions. In addition, we collaborated with the University of Liverpool to enhance the flotation therapy experience through the innovative use of VR technology. This partnership explored how immersive visual environments could further support relaxation and emotional regulation, particularly benefiting individuals with anxiety, PTSD, and sensory processing differences. Collaboration with local agencies and community organisations played a vital role in extending our reach. These partnerships enabled us to support individuals from diverse demographics who may otherwise have suffered in silence, ensuring timely access to wellbeing services and peer support. Additionally, our mentoring and movement-based programme for children with Special Educational Needs and Disabilities SEND supported young people in building resilience, confidence, and emotional regulation. As part of this work, we collaborated closely with an occupational therapist and a neurologist to design and deliver martial arts-based sessions tailored to the specific needs of SEND children. These sessions focused on improving coordination, sensory integration, emotional regulation, and self-confidence in a safe, structured environment. This multidisciplinary approach supported children in developing physical skills while also strengthening focus, self-esteem, and social interaction, helping them transition more positively into school and daily life.
