Being well and feeling happy and safe where we live is an aspiration that we all have and there is mounting evidence that proves that living a full and active life is really important for our physical and mental health.
We have developed a range of initiatives that focus on many important elements of feeling good and part of something. Whether that’s joining your local community organisers to create positive change, getting active or letting your creative juices flow at one of our weekly groups, it all contributes to a sense of fullfilment.

If you’re over 18 we can work with you to discover new things in your local area and make that first step out of the door. We run regular groups and workshops every week, as well as one-off get-togethers, so you have plenty of opportunity to get involved with social activities and health & wellbeing related services in the community.
