The “Zen Bus” comes to Cally on 12th May

The Zen Project is bringing its big yellow bus to Cally on Monday 12th May. The visit of the Zen Bus coincides with the start of Mental Health Awareness Week 2025. The Zen Project helps communities with improved mental wellbeing at a time when so many places have experienced a general worsening of stress and anxiety.

The Bus will be on Carnoustie Drive (outside Bemerton Children’s Centre and the Jean Stokes Community Centre) from 9am to 4pm on Monday 12th May. The bus is visiting Cally with the help of developer Delancey, the company that will soon begin constructing a science and technology centre on York Way.

Cllr Paul Convery says: “Zen Bus sounds a bit zany but this is a serious business. Cost of living pressures continue to cause stress to so many people and we’re all still recovering from the aftermath of the Covid global pandemic. The Zen Bus is just one of many new initiatives underway and planned in Cally to help people de-stress, help us with more positive outlook and ease anxieties. The Zen Project is one of many groups helping with simple tips and techniques to support our mental wellbeing.”
