Tuesday is Time To Talk day!

A recent addition to the activities at the hub is a Time To Talk session, run by one of our volunteers, Liz Lloyd.

“People are really benefitting from what you do each week.”

Taking place on a Tuesday afternoon from 1.30pm-3.30pm, it’s already attracted a regular group of people who relish the opportunity to talk around their concerns.

“I left feeling much more optimistic.”

Combining the opportunity to talk out their feelings with mindfulness, breathing exercises and relaxation techniques, the feedback for Liz’s dedication and delivery has been fantastic.

“The group was supportive, informative and well prepared, passing on life skills.”

Feel free to drop in any week. If you feel you need a bit more 1-2-1 attention, a thinkaction counsellor is available at the hub on Mondays.  Call 0300 029 3000 to book.

“I learned to relax and calm down.”

Time to Talk was instigated by national organisation Time To Change, to address mental health issues by supporting those with low level needs to avoid further interventions, and to end the stigma surrounding mental health.

“An eye opener, we all opened up.”

Activities

Start the week off well with our Monday morning Drop In Cafe

Walderslade Community Hub

Our open cafe welcomes everyone on a Monday morning for good company and chat over a nice cup of tea or coffee.

From 10am-12pm, make new friends and meet up with old ones, as we throw open the doors to our warm and cosy cafe. Hot drinks are just 60p each, with squash available at just 20p. Biscuits are included!

We often have visitors drop in, offering various help services. Hi Kent is with us the second Monday in the month (from September 11) and Age UK are coming along on September 18. Cleo from Porchlight often drops by too!

We look forward to seeing you!
