We are running themed wellbeing sessions for VCS (voluntary & community sector) workers and volunteers who have really felt the burden of the past year and a half or so.

If you or someone you know might benefit from connecting or reconnecting with colleagues in a safe, relaxed, fun, non-work atmosphere to boost wellbeing - then check out and sign up to one of the following series of workshops that spark an interest.

These weekly workshops of about six sessions are targeted specifically for people based in Brixton/Lambeth and working or volunteering in the community eg for a community focused organisation, group or project. Priority will be given to those who also live in Lambeth.
