Do you feel isolated, lonely and unconnected with your community?

We are really excited! With funding from the National Lottery Community Fund, we are able to offer 5 socially distanced picnic meet ups in guide with government guidelines. The ‘Lunch and Fun’ sessions are people with a lived experience of mental health challenges and will take place in: Hemel Hempstead, Stevenage, Ware, Watford and Hatfield.

We are inviting 8 people to each picnic and will contribute a meal deal for each person and some extra nutritional goodies such as fruit. There will also be an opportunity to talk, discuss and problem solve – this will be supported by 2 Peer facilitators.

The first picnic will take place in Howe Dell Stream Woods. This will involve a socially distanced short walk meeting at Pearl Statue, White Lion Square, Hatfield, AL10 0JY and a picnic provided by Viewpoint.

Please bring along with you something to sit on (a picnic blanket etc) and a mask.

The food provided will be a supermarket 'meal deal' which includes a sandwich, crisps and a drink. Please provide any dietary requirements that you have, we will buy a selection of sandwiches.

If you require something specific please email info@hertsviewpoint.co.uk.

If weather doesn't permit a picnic we will have to cancel and rearrange, please keep an eye on your emails on the day.
