Christmas can be a wonderful time of year, but it can also be a hard time. Remember, you don't have to feel alone, there are services out there who you can talk to.
You are not alone.

This morning we painted Christmas candles in our final women’s group of 2025🕯️🎨

There were a couple trial and error moments, but they came out beautifully and everyone had a little momento to take home for the table ❄️☃️

Our women’s group will restart Friday 9th January 11am to 12:15 for anyone who wants to connect and get creative with like minded women in the new year 📆

I cant wait to see what amazing creations and connections 2026 has in store for us ✨🌟

Happy Friday everyone ☃️🌲

The festive season is upon us and here are some snaps from our Christmas Celebration down at The Orchard yesterday 🎄✨

Yet again we were overwhelmed by the love and spirit in the room, a true recovery community 💫🎯

We had an afternoon filled with bingo, a slightly out of date quiz, fabulous karaoke and shared laughter 🎭

The festive season can be a difficult time for many and we want everyone to feel supported, please see our Christmas safety leaflet attached and here at The Orchard we will have our Art group on Christmas Eve 10 -12 for anyone who wants to come down and connect.

As a building we are closed Christmas Day and Boxing Day but we will be back at 9am on the 27th. In between then please see our safety leaflet for how to access support.
