On Tuesday mornings between 10am and 12 noon, we have a vibrant volunteer-led community café. The café gives local residents the opportunity to meet in a warm and friendly environment.
Alongside the cafe we have a volunteer from Include-IT Mersey who offers tech support and IT query assistance so if your iPad or phone is baffling you they can help. Free WIFI is available to all.
Our lovely community library:- You are welcome to borrow a book from our varied selection or swap a book for others to enjoy. We have a wide variety of both non-fiction and fiction books covering interest and hobbies such as cookery, gardening and craft. Why not relax and enjoy a hot drink and have a browse through the shelves next time you visit!
We also have 4 community computers which are available to use at any time. These have no time limit, and they are first come, first served.
This group is open to all men across the local community who wish to socialise with others and enjoy a variety of activities. The group meets every Friday between 1pm and 3pm and we are always looking for more men to join our growing group.
What difference has coming to Men’s Group made to you?
“I feel a bit more motivated and sometimes pushed (in a good way).”
“Improved my wellbeing after feeling isolated. Also volunteering helped.”
“It has taken me from a dark place and got me back into the game.”
“Meeting people. Being outside at gardening helped me feel better about myself.”
“Improved my overall mental and physical health. It gets me out and is something to look forward to, guest speakers, games and trips out.”
“Keeps me active in mind and body. I enjoy meeting friends.”
“Improved belonging, helped to make sense of depression.”
This group is for those that like to lose themselves in a creative activity while meeting other people who enjoy the same thing. Activities could include card making, glass painting, decoupage and rock painting. You don’t need to be experienced to enjoy the group.
Activities are overseen by those within the group participating in the sessions, but attendees can come along with their own craft projects if they prefer to. If you would like to try something new and are interested in joining this friendly group then contact us on 01704517810 or email at info@brighterliving.org.uk
