Wednesday night is our drop in night where anyone is welcome to join us in a safe place to talk or to just be. The group has created a sense of belonging and support each other with their challenges be they mental or physical. The activities we do on these nights gives everyone a sense of purpose, a reason to go.
During these sessions we get out and about as much as possible and not always depending on the weather! These are just some of the activities we have done this year: wild swimming, paddle boarding, walking, star gazing, watching the sun rise, camp fires.
When it’s cold and dark we hold a weekly session in a private room at The Everyman in Harrogate. As a group we have supported each other and explored emotions and challenges we may have encountered. We have also held workshops with a variety of guests, this winter we have done yoga, explored the art of meditation, looked at nutrition, the impact of trauma and lots more.
This service is generally free, however there may be a small charge if we incur a fee from a third-party support specialist (i.e. Yoga teacher, other than any personal costs incurred – parking, lunches, kit etc) however we do ask that you donate or fundraise with your own event or take part in one of our fundraisers to help us cover our costs so we can continue to be here for you and others who need our support.
