Peer support groups exist to help people work through their personal struggles while simultaneously helping others. But they’re not the best fit for everyone. It can feel uncomfortable to sit in a group and talk about each person’s problems. What if there was a better way? Mental Fight Club is an open, welcoming group which puts on exciting, well-organised and inspirational creative events and projects. Its aim is to narrow the divide between the ‘ill’ and the ‘well’ through social engagement. Ian McCartney, Development Director at Mental Fight Club, and Neil Coles, the Senior Project Manager will talk about this amazing charitable organisation that has benefited countless people since its inception in 2003.
This assembly will be hosted by street art blogger Stuart Holdsworth and will feature poetry by Norman Welch. Please stay after for tea, biscuits, and engaging conversations with members of our community.
