Renew Wellbeing (renewwellbeing.org.uk) is the name of the overarching organisation which helps churches around the country to offer a simple, quiet shared space. The concept is to provide a safe space where people with emotional or mental health difficulties are welcome, with an aim to reduce loneliness and social isolation. Visitors can be assured of a warm welcome.
Those who attend have the opportunity to bring a hobby or take part in various activities and enjoy the space. We meet in the church foyer which has comfortable chairs, tables and a servery so there is ample tea, coffee and biscuits!
There are optional times of simple guided prayer and meditation in our prayer chapel at 9:45 and 12pm for the morning session and 1:15pm and 3:30pm for the afternoon session.
renew@westgate is open to those of no faith or of any faith and there is no obligation to join in with prayer activities.
The activities are based around the ‘5 ways to wellbeing’ which promote good mental and emotional health, to:
-
connect,
-
give,
-
be active,
-
keep learning,
-
take notice.
You are welcome to come to the morning (10am-12pm) or afternoon session (1:30-3:30pm). If you would like to make contact before coming along then please either contact any of the hosts via the church office (0191 2720647) or, via email ; renew@w-b-c.me.uk
Please come along and join us, and may we all renew our wellbeing together.
