Welcome to the Wellbeing Service
The Community Wellbeing Services aim to support individuals to maintain and/or improve their wellbeing through group activities based on The New Economics Foundation (NEF) evidenced based model called ‘The 5 Ways to Wellbeing’.
The information contained in this Guide has been gathered ‘in good faith’ by the team & is correct at the time of printing. Occasionally activities may need to be cancelled or rescheduled
Connect: Link with people around you
Keep Learning: Try something new or discover an old interest
Be Active: Exercise makes you feel good
Take Notice: Be aware of the world around you & reflect on your experiences
Give: Give something back
Anyone over the age of 16, who either lives, works or has a GP in any of the delivery areas can access the service. New members please contact the staff member facilitating the group before attending.
Welcome to May ’s ‘What’s on Guide’ We have revised the original What's on Guide, due to recent changes to the service. Please take notice that some groups may have changed times and venues, so just double check before you head out and leave
The ‘5 Ways to Wellbeing’ are simple actions that can be easily incorporated into our daily lives which will help to improve our sense of wellbeing.

People in Mind
People in Mind is Kaleidoscope Plus Group’s co production, service user involvement and volunteering strategy. The People in Mind Forum is a monthly meeting, encouraging service user involvement and co-production, partnership working, advocacy and volunteering. PIM Wellbeing Groups are groups and activities that are delivered by People in Mind (PIM) members, who are individuals with experience of mental illness and therefore these groups are volunteer and peer led. Please contact Kirstie if you would like to check that the groups are still running before you leave home, would like to run a PIM activity or support group, or would like more information on People in Mind.
