Open Space

Informal drop-ins for anybody interested in mental health and wellbeing.

Are you interested in what keeps us well?

Open Space provides weekly drop-ins in a safe, friendly and informal environment for people to socialise, share experiences, enjoy a sense of togetherness – and most of all, have fun! All great things that boost our mental health and wellbeing.

There’s no need to register or be referred. You can attend as often or as little as you like, and you can come and go during sessions.

If you’re looking to meet new people and find out about local events and resources to support your wellbeing, find your nearest Open Space drop-in. Everyone is welcome.
