Very excited that the space is gathering some good energy! We'll soon be having poetry nights, open mics, nutrition evenings, plus lots more in the pipeline!! I personally feel very privileged to be part of this project and seeing clients here!

Hope to see some new faces at some of our events soon xx☺️

Hi everyone!

We are slowly getting back into routine after the summer and getting ready to launch our first project.

🌻The Sunflower Lounge project will focus on supporting neurodivergent individuals or a family member, as well as refugees. We only have capacity for one participant per family.

We were awarded funding from the UK Shared Prosperity Fund so the cost is subsidised for individual and group therapy at our community space in central Belper.

We are community-focused, so will design the project around the needs of the participants.

For this project, we are inviting participants over 12 years of age only.

🗓️We are offering 12-week blocks of sessions:

From Monday 23rd September
to Monday 16 December

and Monday 6th January
to Monday 31st March 2025.

🤯Those who feel ready to commit to a therapeutic journey can self refer to our project. We have 5 spaces for individual therapy and 20 spaces for group therapy (one Neurodiverse Group/ one Refugee group) for each round. The total cost payable per person is £96 for individual and £36 for group therapy. That is for all 12 sessions.

🕰️ Individual sessions are 50 minutes long and group sessions 90 minutes, with 15 minutes at the start and end for chatting with a cuppa.

If you are interested in taking up our offer, please feel free to comment, send us a message or email potentialspacebelper@gmail.com, or share with someone you know who might benefit from this opportunity.

We are making progress zoning the different parts of our space ready for community use.

This area is now a cosy lounge area, perfect for enjoying a cuppa and a chat, thanks to the new area rug we bought today.

Whilst we apply for funding to replace the flooring, lighting and kitchen and toilet fittings; we are making the most of what we have and what is available free or secondhand nearby.

Marisha and Suzie, the chairperson of the Eartharmony co-operative society had a very productive time co-working today.

The balance between the busy central
location and the quiet atmosphere downstairs is ideal for getting work done.

If you’re interested to try out working from our room- please be in touch. Flexible and regular options available.
