ARTIST Kitt Bennett has painted a mural to celebrate the opening of Jimmy’s Youth Wellbeing Sanctuary at Rosebud.
During lockdown the courtyard and front garden at 827-829 Point Nepean Road was completed and a start made on the mural on the entrance wall.
The design reflects items and objects of meaning to the young people who use Jimmy’s services. They include a combination of fruit/vegetables/card games/coffee keep cups and plants to create a welcome and hint at what to expect when joining the Jimmy’s community.
Yoga, reiki, acupuncture, naturopathy, and mental health first-aid courses are just some of what members can engage in.
To help support free access for people aged under 21, adults pay a reduced fee for these services.
“Improving mental, emotional and physical wellbeing is our primary intention and we welcome all people to pop in and check out what’s on offer,” the YMCA’s wellbeing sanctuary manager Jeanette Horsley said.
“A great way to start is by joining our community breakfast each Friday morning at 9.30.”
