Our Link Up group offers people with mental illness the chance to come together in a relaxing and welcoming space. Our group meets monthly to socialise, share experiences and provide support and encouragement to each other. We never put pressure on anyone to share how they’re doing. We just offer the space for people to do so freely and without judgment, so our members feel less isolated and more supported. We explore topics such as living well, and we encourage members to share ideas and skills and try out new activities. Our aim is to enjoy life and share some laughter too. New members are always welcome.
