Our team

Our team offers support to people who want to establish or participate in peer support groups either online or face to face. We support groups to become independent and help with administration, organising and support group facilitators one to one.

We offer a weekly craft group online sending out activity packs to participants and work on these together. We also have two monthly walking groups and a city centre and Southwell dementia drop-in. We also provide weekly support calls to people who might be isolated or finding things particularly difficult.

Suzanne facilitates the drop-ins, Suzanne facilitates the dementia drop-ins, and Ghazal facilitates the walking groups: one in Highfields Park and another one in Stonebridge City Farm. We have six volunteers who are a great help to the running of activities and peer support groups. We are grateful for their time and effort.
