We are a relaxed and fun art and crafts women's group who meet every Friday at Bude Methodist Church Hall for a good measure of peer support amongst our paint, pens and brushes. Our members all have lived experience of mental illness, and we are here to listen and share experiences in a relaxed and compassionate atmosphere. We also occasionally organise lunches and invite speakers. Please call for an informal chat beforehand or meet up to hear more about us and our activities. We would love to hear from you. No experience of art and crafts necessary. Our activities are for all levels.

The Bristol Siblings Group is here to help you. We offer a space in Bristol where you can meet other siblings with a brother or sister with mental health issues, share your experiences and the emotions you feel as a sibling, access information on mental health issues and sibling support and realise you are not alone. The group is very friendly and informal, and you’ll have the chance to offload, and talk about whatever’s going on for you and your family. It’s up to you how much or little you talk, but you can feel sure there will people at the group who want to listen and connect with you. We sometimes organise speakers to share information on relevant topics. Depending on what people want, we can do other things with the group as well, such as fundraising or organising events to help raise awareness of mental health issues. It’s up to all of us what direction we’d like the group to take, so please let us know your ideas. The group is open to anyone aged 18 and over with a brother or sister living with mental illness. We look forward to meeting you.
