Social Activities

We have a range of activities and social opportunities for people experiencing mental health problems, taking place throughout Harlow, Uttlesford and Epping Forest. These are generally facilitated by staff on the WEllbeing project.

Our current programme is shown in the tables below.

Please note that the list may change since we are committed to responding to the needs of the people who come along.

If you or someone you know are interested in finding out more we would be pleased to hear from you. Please, either:

Call in to one of the Open Access Sessions;

Call the member of staff who takes the lead in the activity you are interested in. (Their telephone number is listed below against the activity.)
