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.

Wimbledon Wednesday Group (Rethink Merton & Sutton Group) is a drop-in group for adults that has been running for 20 years. 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 to improve the treatment of all those affected by mental illness. We meet every 1st and 3rd Wednesday of the month for a relaxed and friendly evening of games, low-cost snacks 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, e.g. 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 or support.
