What we’re about
Hello, we are Kate & Amy! Some of you may have been part of our previous group (that had the same name) but we needed a fresh start, we're glad you found us. We set up the group originally because we both struggle with anxiety at times and found that having a reason to get out of the house felt good, and actually doing it made us feel even better! So we decided to make it a thing.
This group is a safe space where anyone struggling with anxiety, depression or struggling with any other element of their mental health can come along and socialise. You don't have to share if you don't feel like it, come as you are and be yourself.
Our ethos is that we listen to each other and open, respectful discussion is always welcome. We also want everyone to feel safe, so we will not tolerate any inappropriate behaviour either at events or through the page. If anyone feels unsafe, please let us know as soon as you can so we can deal with the situation.
Our monthly meet-ups are very casual and usually involve coffee. We take input from our members on where/what we should do next so your suggestions are always welcome. The main group will be mixed but we will also be hosting women-only events as we are both strong believers in the power of single-sex spaces.
We always cap numbers on our events to keep the group a safe size and we reserve spaces in different venues so you'll know where to find us. You're always welcome to message us as well if you're feeling anxious beforehand.
