Mindful Moments

Mindful Moments was founded in 2023 by Debbie, a dedicated and experienced mental health professional with a strong passion for promoting wellbeing, resilience, and personal growth. Debbie created Mindful Moments as a supportive space where individuals can explore the transformative benefits of mindfulness and take positive steps towards a healthier, more balanced life.

Following a significant life-changing experience in 2014, Debbie reached out for mental health support herself. This journey inspired her to deepen her understanding of emotional wellbeing through further education. She went on to complete both undergraduate and postgraduate degrees, gaining extensive knowledge in counselling, life coaching, and psychology. Today, Debbie uses her skills and experience to empower others as they navigate their own mental wellness journeys.

Mindful Moments is conveniently based within the C2U shop on Gosport High Street, offering an accessible and welcoming environment for those seeking support. We take a holistic approach to mental health, providing thorough assessments that consider emotional, psychological, and social wellbeing. This comprehensive understanding allows us to develop personalised strategies and interventions that encourage resilience, growth, and lasting improvement.

We also recognise the importance of accessibility, with ample nearby parking available, including the first hour free, making visits as easy and stress-free as possible.

At Mindful Moments, our commitment is to guide and support you every step of the way as you work towards improved wellbeing and a more fulfilling life.

Star Royalty UK

Star Royalty UK is a national pageant system, offering a safe environment for contestants to be themselves on the stage. We are supporting C2U Gosport and Abi’s Got Guts, our event profits are split ensuring they can continue their work in the community.

Star Royalty UK 2025 National Finals

Star Royalty UK is hosting their very first national pageant where contestants will be walking the stage with the chance to be walking away with a national title. They will compete in a variety of rounds in jaw-dropping outfits and electrifying energy.

I will use the funds to help pay for expenses such as venue hire, allowing me to offer sponsorship to some contestants that are deserving and may not have the means to partake in the event. I want to create a spectacular event and provide opportunities to the winners through the pageant, including a photoshoot and an amazing prize package. I would like to provide an afternoon tea and drinks throughout the day for all contestants and the pageant team, to ensure that they are all taken care of.

Star Royalty UK are supporting groups in the local area C2U Gosport and Abi’s Got Guts, by fundraising to ensure that they can continue what they do in the community. We will be holding collections to help with C2U Gosport Helping Hands Food Store, using profits to go shopping with our winners to buy required items that will hopefully help the local people in the area. Star Royalty will also be using the event profits to ensure that these two groups can continue what they do in the community.
