About The Groups
Our wellbeing groups take place at various locations across North and South Lanarkshire, offering a welcoming and supportive space for anyone looking to focus on their mental health and wellbeing.
When you come along, you can expect a relaxed and friendly environment where you’ll meet likeminded people and feel part of a community. We provide teas, coffees, and refreshments so you can settle in and feel comfortable. Each session may include a range of holistic therapies such as reiki, neck and shoulder massage, as well as wellness activities like sound bath sessions and chair yoga. These sessions are designed to help you unwind, recharge, and take some meaningful time for yourself.
Our groups are about more than just activities, they’re a chance to socialise, have meaningful conversations, and take a break from the pressures of everyday life. Even taking a couple of hours out of your day can make a real difference to your mental wellbeing.
We also believe that the people who attend our groups should help shape them. We’re always open to new ideas and suggestions, whether that’s a holistic therapy you’d like to try or a new activity you think others would enjoy. Our aim is to create a space that feels inclusive, empowering, and is co-designed by the people who use it.
You’ll meet likeminded people, and whether you want to socialise, have meaningful conversations, or simply take some time for yourself, our groups are here for you.

Creative Groups
Our creative groups run across North and South Lanarkshire, including sessions in East Kilbride, Hamilton and Motherwell offering a space where creativity and wellbeing come together. These sessions are all about giving things a go whether that’s arts, crafts, or something completely new. There’s no pressure or expectation, just an opportunity to get involved, be creative, and take a break from the day to day.
Spending time being creative can be a great way to clear your mind, build confidence, and focus on something enjoyable. Alongside the activities, there’s always a friendly, supportive atmosphere where people can chat, share ideas, or simply take time for themselves.
We’re always keen to keep the groups fresh and shaped by the people who attend. If you have an idea for something you’d like to try, we’d love to hear it. There are also opportunities to take a more active role, including volunteering and helping to support sessions. Whether you’re looking to meet others, try something different, or just have a bit of time for yourself, our creative groups are open to everyone.
