Our group is run by people with lived experience of mental illness, who aim to empower members and promote and improve the mental wellbeing of people living in Southend-on-Sea and its surrounding areas. We offer friendly support for people with mental illness, whether it's diagnosed or not, and carers are welcome too. We meet for two hours (refreshments provided) on the second Wednesday of every month, to talk, socialise and do various activities in a safe space. These activities include art and crafts, writing, listening to guest speakers, and much more. Since March 2019, we’ve also started to offer 'active' activities every fortnight. We run a rolling schedule of rounders, table tennis, fun workouts and walking, as well as regularly try new activities. In addition, we sometimes organise one-off activities, which have previously included a post-Christmas social with raffle and party food, and a Time to Talk Day event.

Our group aims to be a safe place for carers to offload their problems and support each other, knowing they will not be judged. We have all had personal experience of caring for someone close to us, and so we understand what it can be like supporting someone through a challenging treatment path. We have occasional speakers, and try to be involved in local decision making to help improve the situations of carers and their loved ones.

We aim to support those who support others with their mental health, whether family members or friends. These people often don’t know how to support their loved one, friend or sibling and find the situation they're facing very confusing. As well as supporting people who support others, and helping them support each other, we have started a creative writing group for people with lived experience of mental illness. This gives members the opportunity to express themselves in a way they might not have been able to before.
