💚 THIS IS OUR JAMILA’S LEGACY COMMUNITY – HERE FOR YOU! 💚

✨ What’s on this week, commencing 26 October?

Take a look at our Reel for a glimpse of what’s coming up this week and a snapshot of what we offer throughout the month!

From mental health cafés, women’s wellbeing and young people’s projects to creative activities, advocacy, learning opportunities and one-to-one support.

💚 Free activities, friendly faces, meaningful connections and support when you need it. Everyone is welcome!

🤝 Together, we make a difference!

None of this would be possible without our wonderful partners, collaborators, donors, sponsors and funders.

Special thanks to @lptnhs @nhsllr @leicestercitycouncil @uniofleicester ( Legal Advice Team) @chcc_official @thecuratoreducator @hwbcharity @dropofcompassion @youngpeoplesteam_lpt

🌍 World Mental Health Day 2026

💚 Real Voices. Real Experiences. Real Change.

At Jamila’s Legacy, we believe that lived experiences matter. Every story deserves to be heard, and every voice has the power to challenge stigma, inspire hope and influence change.

Today, we will be sharing a series of personal stories from people we support, giving them the space to share their experiences in their own words.

💚 We begin with Fiona, who has kindly agreed to share her story with us.

We thank Fiona for her openness and willingness to share her experiences.

By listening to real voices, we can develop greater understanding, challenge misconceptions and help create more compassionate and inclusive communities.

Because real change begins when we truly listen.

🎥 Watch more stories and lived experiences on our YouTube channel – Jamila’s Legacy.

We won! Jamila’s Legacy is Social Enterprise of the Year! 💚🏆

To be shortlisted was a big deal. To actually win… what an incredible moment.

We don’t do what we do for awards or recognition. Our purpose has always been about people, communities and making a difference. But it is important sometimes to stop, reflect and celebrate how far we have come.

This award is especially meaningful because Jamila’s Legacy began with Jamila. Her story became the beginning of something that has grown into a community of people supporting, empowering and looking out for one another. This award is in her memory. 💚

I am incredibly proud of our amazing JL family, our directors, dedicated freelancers, fabulous volunteers, our Patron @sulemannagdi , partners, supporters and everyone who has been part of our journey. And above all, the wonderful people we meet and work alongside every day, who trust us, share their stories with us and make Jamila’s Legacy what it is.

A huge thank you to @voluntaryactionleics ,the judges, headline sponsor @hastingsdirectofficial , our category sponsor University of Leicester School of Business, all the sponsors and supporters, and of course the wonderful duo @kevinak007 and @rupalrajani, who hosted the evening and kept us entertained throughout!

There are times when it can feel as though so much around us is falling apart. But every day, through this work, I am reminded that there is still so much kindness, compassion, care and humanity in our communities.

So proud. So grateful. And still taking it all in. 💚🏆

Social Enterprise of the Year!
