Our Scawthorpe Arts and Crafts Group offers people living with mental illness, and anyone supporting someone’s mental health, the chance to come together to craft, colour, paint and draw. You don’t have to be an artist, few of us are. Our friendly group provides a safe and welcoming space to share experiences, crafts, tips and knowledge, although many of us just like the tea, biscuits, laughter and warm company offered away from home. New members are always welcome.

Our Bubble group offers people living with autism spectrum disorders and mental illness, and their family members, friends and carers, the chance to come together in a relaxed, safe and welcoming space. Our friendly group meets every week to socialise, share experiences and ideas, and offer support and encouragement to each other. Whilst some of our members might enjoy a game of bingo or chess, some of us just like the tea, biscuits, good company and conversation on offer. We also have a wealth of fact sheets and information that our members can access, as well as information on other local services and organisations that may be helpful. We arrange social outings and activities through the spring and summer months, and from time to time we work together to fundraise and join local events. New members are always welcome.

Our Wakefield Carers group has been meeting for several years now. We are a friendly group that meets once a month in an afternoon. We offer a safe, relaxing space for people caring for someone with mental illness to share what sort of month they've had. This typically leads to members offering support and encouragement to each other. We never put pressure on anyone to share. We just offer the space for people to do so freely and without judgement, so our members feel less isolated and more supported. As we meet in an afternoon, we provide a simple lunch buffet with tea and coffee that we can enjoy together while we talk. On occasions, we also arrange social outings outside our regular meetings. New members are warmly welcome.
