Writing can be a great emotional outlet; it allows us to express our thoughts and feelings freely and can stop us from bottling things up! So, why not try writing and join Our Space - a group for writing and creativity. No literary/art skills necessary, all you need is within you!

The group will run twice a month at 32 Hampton Road, TW2 5QB. Our next session is on Thursday, 18th August, 2-3:30pm. For more info please contact: [email protected]

Please note those wishing to attend will need to have been referred to our Wellbeing Centre first. For info on this contact [email protected]

National Allotments Week starts today, 8-14th August. We all know the benefits of being outside and connecting with nature for our mental health, and gardening is just the same. It can relieve stress, anxiety and lift our mood.

So, this National Allotments Week, let's try to find small ways in which we can incorporate gardening into our lives. If you don't have a garden or allotment why not buy an indoor plant or window box? Having something else to nurture and focus on can help bring us to the present moment and help ground us.
