Holistic support to improve physical and mental health
The City and Hackney Wellbeing Network, offers high-quality free support to help people prevent the onset of mental health problems and alleviate issues such as stress, anxiety and low mood. We also offer support to adults with severe and enduring mental health conditions.
A dynamic and diverse partnership of eleven specialist mental health providers, the Wellbeing Network empowers people towards better mental and physical wellbeing. We offer an exciting range of groups and courses to support people to improve their mental wellbeing, physical health, social networks and daily living skills.
One named ‘network navigator’ will be available to ensure that people receive the right kind of support at the right time and that support is well-coordinated.

This group will focus on various textile techniques such as embroidery, applique, fabric manipulations and use of the sewing machines/hand work. We will produce textile samples/decorative pieces. We will also be able to produce decorative tote bags and lavender cushions. This is a small group with a limited number of places. We will create in a relaxed and calm space with gentle relaxation music and candles. This group will benefit those who prefer working in a small group and for those who are more anxious.
Come and learn how to support your body & mind through a natural diet, with food that will reboot & recharge you. You will learn about vitamins and minerals in everyday food and about foods to help you sleep & charge your energy. Each session you will receive a recipe to recreate at home. So come along and claim back a healthy mind!
