Becoming unwell physically, emotionally, or mentally, is part of being human. We could all experience problems with our mental health at some stage in our lives. |
|
The Arches supports our community by offering confidential support, information and advice to anyone who experiences mental ill-health. We can help you make friends, overcome distress, meet others who understand, learn ways of coping better with difficult situations, learn new skills or discover hidden talents. |

We can also help put you in touch with other people who can provide specific support and advice as well as assisting you to be all you can, or want to be. |
|
Some days we have “Open House” sessions where you can just come in and enjoy a chat and a cup of tea, and benefit from the company of others. |

Glass Painting |
Art |
You could take part in Art and Craft, relaxation, exercise, Healthy Living sessions and much more. If you prefer just to socialise you can come along to our weekly evening gatherings, or enjoy day trips to places of interest.
|
If you have a special topic of interest or if you simply want to learn new things, why not come and listen to our varied programme of visiting speakers? |

We always try to accommodate the needs and interests of everyone using our service. So why not ask us what is available or suggest activities you would like us to provide? |
