About Connect Hub and Cafe Connect
Our service provides a safe and welcoming space for members of the community to drop into access a range of information, advice, emotional and practical support to improve mental wellbeing.
Support is available to anyone aged over 18 years of age, living in Warrington, who can benefit from low level mental health support to help their recovery.
Our team provides support from Monday to Friday between 9am - 5pm. Other organised groups and events happen throughout the week including evenings and weekends.
The service also features a welcoming community café, offering delicious, affordable meals for everyone to enjoy. The café is open to all, and you don’t need to be receiving support to stop by and visit.
What we offer
Our goal is to provide support focused on improved independence that suits the individual needs and aspirations of each person that visits our service.
Support we offer includes:
- Experienced staff who can help connect people to local specialist support services.
- 1-to-1 staff support, and group support where needed, to help people to talk, listen and to feel connected and to enable people to take ownership of their mental wellbeing.
- A safe, accessible space for people to connect with like-minded people who offer peer-to-peer support.
- A chance to improve health and fitness. We know that "what is good for the heart is good for the head" and we host a range of sessions including wellbeing courses, groups promoting physical health and mindfulness and meditation.
- Our Café Connect offers affordable good food and refreshments on drop-in days.
- We are a food bank voucher supplier for those in need.
- Volunteering opportunities to give support to the community by providing people with new skills, which also increase chances of employment.
- Employment guidance and advice for those wishing to take steps into the workplace.
- Opportunities to keep learning by providing courses delivered by qualified tutors.
Groups and activities
We believe that living well is easier when you have people around you who understand what you are going through.
