Jack’s Hub – our nickname for our office – is our main base of operations, and where our weekly groups meet. It is also where young people can meet with us, to see how we can support them and their mental health.
Natter is a support group for young people who are struggling within mainstream education, struggling at home, or struggle within mainstream groups. This is a smaller group with young people and young adults who are looking for an opportunity to meet new friends within a supportive environment.
Discussions will include mental health and worries, a range of different activities and incorporate some art therapy into our sessions. Please email if you’re interested!
Dungeons and Dragons is a roleplaying game where your character’s abilities and the rolls of dice decide whether you and your friends succeed or fail with your adventures.
People get together around a table, create characters to play as (choosing from a range of abilities and traits to help bring their character to life), they then go on adventures together as those characters, with dice (and certain bonuses) determining whether their efforts succeed or fail. It is a fun game for all ages, and many people who are neurodiverse can find it especially engaging.
Our Games Group play a variety of board games, card games, and more! Our fun and friendly group is an open and welcoming place where young people can play with new friends, building shared interests and growing together. Please email if you’re interested!
RESET is a 10 Week educational, self-esteem and confidence building workshop which promotes the importance of positive reinforcement. The purpose of RESET is to learn new skills, make new friends and ensure our young people and young adults are listened to.
At the end of the 10 weeks we celebrate the individual’s achievement by organising a trip to celebrate their success and we also present a certificate of participation.
Knit n Natter is a fantastic group where you can meet new people and learn to knit or crochet. Our group is open to adults from beginner to expert.
You can get involved in helping others such as making small baby hats for neonatal babies, or outfits for babies born in Uganda that have no clothes. You might like to get involved with making small items that we put out in the community on our awareness days.
You might just like to come and knit your own things. Even if you’ve never knitted or crocheted before why not pop in and try it you never know it might be something you really enjoy. Please feel free to drop by if you’re interested!
