Health and Wellbeing Officer

**About Us**:
At SFiCE Foundation our main objectives are community development, to help reduce the effects of food poverty, isolation, and ill health within the city of Nottingham.

We aim to do this by providing several free projects for vulnerable adults and the homeless. We address educational, health & well-being and core needs.

In June 2015 we held our first SFiCE Social Cafe in Nottingham to help ease the effects of food poverty faced by vulnerable people within the city. We now open the Social Cafe three times a week. We also provide health checks, ESOL classes, clothing bank, food bank and toiletries. Our recent projects include a fun active Social Club catering to the retired and isolated community. Our Music for wellbeing sessions are a great way for the community to get together, have fun and improve our mental health in our fun filled music workshop.
