Bucks Mind's Wellbeing Service offers supportive group activities designed to help adults (18+) in Buckinghamshire who are experiencing moderate to severe mental health difficulties. Our groups are based around the Five Ways to Wellbeing: connect, be active, take notice, keep learning, and give.
What we offer:
- Regular group sessions in Aylesbury, High Wycombe, Chesham, and Chalfont St Peter.
- Activities include art, crafting, cooking, interactive games, group discussions, and occasional outings such as walking or bowling.
- Support from experienced Wellbeing Workers and fully trained volunteers.
- All standard materials and resources provided.
How it helps:
- Builds confidence and independence.
- Supports your recovery journey and helps you engage with community activities, volunteering, and paid work.
- Emphasizes the importance of social connection and trying new things in a welcoming, supportive environment.
Accessing the service:
- Open to adults (18+) living in Bucks with moderate to severe mental health difficulties.
- Referrals can be made by your Community Mental Health Team worker, GP, Adult Social Care, or you can self-refer.
- Once referred, you can visit a group with your referrer to try it out and meet other service users before agreeing a start date.
- You'll be 'Buddied' with a staff member, volunteer, or another group member to help you settle in.
Fees: The Wellbeing Service is self-funding and charges a fee. If you are referred through the Community Mental Health Team or Adult Social Care, you may be entitled to funding support. Find out more about fees here.
Accessibility: If you require support to access the service (e.g. hearing loop, translator, mobility aids), please contact us to discuss your individual needs.
