Next week sees the start of our autumn programmes on Mondays and Tuesdays at the Buckland United Reformed Church. On Monday 4th September, our ChitChat Club will be starting up again after a break during August. We’re delighted to welcome back volunteers from Cycling Without Age who will take people out on mini-trips around the local area (optional of course).

The ChitChat Club meets every Monday from 10am to 12noon. You can drop in at any time for a cuppa and a chat, and each week there’s an optional exercise activity to help with health and wellbeing.

Then on Tuesday 5th September, our Nexus Women’s Creativity and Wellbeing group starts up again, this time meeting for a Wellbeing and Photography Walk around Hilsea Lido. The facilitators are Charlie Johnson who leads wellbeing walks around the city for Portsmouth City Council, and Paul Williams who is working on a photography project to celebrate the contribution of trees to wellbeing. Photos taken on the walk can be sent to Paul and will be included in his Lungs of the City exhibition in October.

Soon to be launched is more information about a Mental Wealth Festival we’re organising for October, with a special keynote event on Thursday 12 October at Oasis – The Venue in Arundel Street.
