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 group offers mutual support and information for carers by getting together and sharing our situations and challenges. Through doing this, we are able to view situations differently, take some of the pressure off of our shoulders and feel less isolated, knowing that others are in similar situations.

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.

Our long running group is open to anyone who has a brother or sister with lived experience of mental illness. The relationship between siblings is different to any other relationship, and our group reflects that. We can give a good insight into how mental illness can change relationships and discuss the ways you can support your sibling and the rest of your family, both emotionally and practically.
