It's Day 12 of Self Care September - a bit of mood-boosting activity outdoors is on the calendar. It's bright out but perhaps a bit blustery for badminton! What else can you do to boost your mind and body today?

We're open tonight from 5pm until 8pm - join us for some Friday fun as we have a gentle boogie in our outdoor garden. If you're not up for dancing, you can still enjoy a cuppa and a chat with a friendly volunteer or join in a game with other guests. Or, you can enjoy your brew in quiet in our calm room.

We've got plenty of space to enjoy this evening of wellbeing and support at your own pace. If you're over 18 and finding life tough, then come as you are for encouragement and support - you're worth it and you'll be most welcome.

Are the words "enjoy yourself" music to your ears? For many of us, this can cause feelings of guilt or unworthiness. Truth is, we all deserve to take time for ourselves and enjoy some healthy fun. What will you do today? Post in the comments your favourite fun activity.

It's Day 10 of Self Care September - if you're over 18 and could use some support in tough times then why not pop in tonight for a cuppa and a chat with one of our friendly volunteers?

We provide a calm, safe space to chat, chill or connect. So, if you're not OK that's OK, just come as you are and be supported - you're worth it and you'll be most welcome.

In how we aim to be and what we look to do, good enough is realistic and rewarding, while perfect is impossible and imprisoning. Be kind to yourself - set reachable goals and celebrate your successes.

It's Day 8 of Self Care September - today's tip raises the stakes a little. Are you going through difficult times, feeling overwhelmed yet concerned that no one will understand?

We'll be open this Wednesday and Friday evening from 5pm until 8pm offering a listening ear and a safe space. Our friendly volunteers will greet you with a warm welcome and a hot drink and listen without judgement to whatever is on your mind. And they can also signpost you to further support.
