Other support includes a music appreciation group and Mindfulness of Movement. There are regular educational and creative courses such as Be Confident, Own Your Self Worth and Experiments in Printing.

Adam, a client from the centre said, ‘This place has saved my life, without the support here I don’t know where I’d be.’ If you would like any further information, a referral form or a timetable, you can contact the centre by email at newhavenwellbeingcentre@southdown.org or by phone on 01273 517641.
