NHS CHARITIES TOGETHER FUNDRAISER MINDFUL COLOURING-IN

  • Jessica Webb

''Colouring has the ability to relax the fear centre of your brain, the amygdala. It induces the same state as meditating by reducing the thoughts of a restless mind. This generates mindfulness and quietness, which allows your mind to get some rest after a long day...'' Beaumont Health, 2020 For a period of two weeks during the first lockdown (Covid-19 pandemic) Dandan Design created a range of downloadable patterns to help you and your loved ones stop and create your own mindful space, through colouring-in. It would be hard to overlook the amazing work our NHS has been doing (and continues to do) for us as individuals, and as a country. At the moment we are still not out of the woods and there is so much we can all be doing to get involved and support where we can.​ ​Each pattern was £1, where 100% of funds were donated to NHS Charities Together, through Virgin Money Giving. ​ In total we made £89.00 which was absolutely AMAZING! ​ Thank you so much to everyone who got involved, and we hope you enjoyed spending time doing something creative whilst giving back to a fabulous cause.
