We provide a friendly and relaxed drop-in centre run by trained volunteers.
WE UNDERSTAND.
The Drop-in is a place you can feel safe. You can share problems, support each other, meet new people and have a chat over a cuppa. You can also just come and sit quietly if that is what you need. It is a place you can escape to for a while.

Our "Drop"-in Centre is for anyone who is experiencing mental health problems and for those who are simply struggling with life.
Two staff and several volunteers come in on a daily basis to help run the Centre,
listen to you and offer support. All of them have had some experience of mental health problems themselves.
Some people come to "Drop in" 2 or 3 times a week, others come 2 or 3 times a month, whichever, suits you. The people who come to drop in are very supportive of each other and often real friendships develop.
"Drop in" varies
in atmosphere; sometimes quiet, sometimes noisy, depending on who is in
and how busy we are. If drop in becomes too noisy for you, we have
rooms you can go to to sit in peace. Mostly, at the drop in, people
just want to chat in the sitting room or smoking room.
What can you do here?
There is no pressure to join in, but if you feel like it there are lots of activities going on:
Come and have a tea or coffee and a chat. All for the cost of only 20p a day!
Want to surf the Internet? Learn some computer skills? We have computers available for you to use.
If you feel like being creative we have an art and craft room.
Fancy a game of pool? We have our own pool room you can use.
Feeling peckish? We sometimes make snacks, and on Wednesdays we make a meal. You can even come for lunch on the 2nd and 4th Sunday of the month. Just let us know if you want to come.
Feeling musical? We have a piano and keyboard you can play on.
You can take part in quizzes, make jigsaws and do crosswords.
We always need help fundraising. Do you have any good ideas?
Want some exercise? We have some bikes you can use.
You can even join in on sponsored bike rides! Or, you could take part in a sponsored walk or hill climb?
You can join us on day trips in the summer, sometimes to the seaside.
A group of us like to go bowling, fancy joining us?
We sometimes have a trip to the theatre and at Christmas we go to see a pantomime.
