We are dedicated to young South Asian women in their 20's and 30's who are suffering with any type of mental health condition. This is a safe, open and most importantly non-judgemental spce for us like-minded individuals to get together and discuss what's on our mind - we celebrate the good, share the bad and emphasise with everything in between. We don't have all the answers but we do know good mental health is a journey, one that will only move forward once we start talking about how we really feel. Come along and be part of the change!

Our very long running Wimbledon Wednesday Group has become a key source of information and support in the area. We provide information on local and national services and support and empower one another. The group is for anyone affected by mental illness who is or has been under a Community Mental Health Team. We also talk to local decision makers to try and improve the treatment of all those affected by mental illness. We meet every Wednesday of the year for a relaxed and friendly evening of games, low-cost food and drinks, bingo, chess, art and colouring, Scrabble, chatting and quizzes. We also have a quiet room for those who wish to use it. We have occasional outings, eg to the theatre, cinema, walks, days out to towns and cities, countryside and seaside. We are always looking to do more, so we would welcome any suggestions and support.

We are a friendly group of carers that meet in Beaconsfield. We come together once a month as a peer-led support group, with meetings taking place in the evening. We also arrange to meet for a coffee and catch-up in the morning, which can be convenient for those who can't attend an evening meeting. We organise outings and a variety of social events throughout the year to help alleviate social isolation. In addition, we also support our local supported housing for people living with mental illness.
