We are a friendly group of carers that meet in Beaconsfield. We come together every three weeks for coffee and then every three months for meetings during the daytime as a peer-led support group. 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.

We are a group of people affected by mental health issues, either directly, as family members or friends, or because we work in the field of mental health. We believe the voice of lived experience should be heard and welcome everyone who shares this view. We aim to act as a forum for the exchange of innovative ideas around areas of mental health and inclusion, to network, and to take positive action to change perceptions and improve people’s lives. We listen to a range of speakers, discuss ideas and plan campaigns. We meet monthly. Please contact us for more information.

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.

The London Arts and Social Network is a peer led network whose members identify with the difficulties associated with personality disorder (whether formally diagnosed or not). We provide a space for people to meet and enjoy London-based arts and cultural events. The network aims to give people who may be isolated an opportunity to make new friends and enjoy the experience of going to cultural events with a peer group who can appreciate the difficulties of having a personality disorder.
