The Friendly Place

every fortnight in burnt oak - contact us for details

Looking after our mental health is crucial in contributing to our overall wellbeing. One local group who champion positive health and encourage people to socialise in Barnet is The Friendly Place. The Friendly place is a mental health support group that meets twice a month and reduces social isolation of those known to Barnet Homes’ Floating Support services.

Residents who would otherwise not have contact with others meet, chat and have lunch together. They are able to speak to a member of staff who can offer low-level support or signpost to appropriate services.

Preventing loneliness strengthens communities and tackles social isolation, The Friendly Place offers that to those who would otherwise not engage with other community groups.

The Friendly Place meets fortnightly at Burnt Oak Library. Please note that clients need to be referred to this service.

The Friendly Place is made possible by The Barnet Group’s Covid-19 Recovery Fund, which has funded the initiative for this year.
