Good morning, Darwen

A new week brings fresh chances, new conversations, and the opportunity to feel a little more connected than yesterday.
Loneliness and social isolation can touch anyone and often the quietest people are carrying the heaviest feelings.
But you don’t have to face the days alone. ❤️

Our Community Cuppa & Chat Group is here for exactly that reason:
a warm space to sit, talk, meet new people, or simply be around others if you don’t feel like talking.
Sometimes just being in the room is enough.

☕ Every Monday | 10am – 12pm
Free toast, hot drinks, and friendly faces waiting to welcome you.

As we step into this new week, remember: you are part of a community that cares, notices, and is here for you.
Take today one gentle step at a time. 🌿✨

🌲✨ Good Morning, Darwen! ✨🌲

Today is a beautiful reminder of what community truly means.
As we gather for Carols in the Woods, we’re not just singing , we’re connecting, celebrating, and lifting one another up in true Darwen spirit. 💛

At Darwen Community Helpers, we believe that moments like these strengthen the bonds that hold our town together. Whether you’re joining in for the carols, enjoying a winter walk, or simply taking in the peace of a Sunday morning, know that you’re part of something special.

Wishing everyone a heartwarming day filled with music, kindness, and community.
See you in the woods! 🎶🌲💛

Even though DCH is closed today, our community spirit is always alive. 💛

Take a moment for yourself, check in on a neighbour, or share a smile with someone who might need it. These small acts of kindness make our town a brighter place.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone! 🌿💛

Feelings of stress and anxiety are not uncommon and each of us are individual. Talking through our feelings, our experiences and our hopes and dreams can sometimes help clear a muddy picture and lighten our load. Get in touch for a free consultation.
