Wellbeing Groups

People Matters run weekly wellbeing groups which include crafts, sports/ exercise, games, education and socialising. These are usually based at Barkston House, Holbeck, but sometimes include activities in the community. The focus of the groups changes depending on our funding, but there is always an emphasis on mental health and wellbeing. They run Mondays and Fridays 10.30-12.30 and are free to attend. You can come alone or with your own support.

We currently have funding from the Mayor’s Safer Communities Fund so we’re focusing on different types of safety. Topics include safeguarding, online safety, happy and consensual relationships, discrimination, self-advocacy, and crime. Come and get involved in a fun, active and creative programme led by group members.

If you would like to, you can ask your parent/carer to help as well.
