Free mental health and wellbeing sessions for customers at Alt Community Centre
18/06/2026
We’re hosting a series of free mental health and wellbeing sessions for customers at Alt Community Centre this summer. In partnership with local organisation Calm Ahead, two Connect 5 sessions will be delivered across June and July.
Funded by community group Action Together, the programme was developed in response to customer feedback, which highlighted a need for more adult mental health support.
Session dates are:
- Monday 29 June, 9:30am–12:00pm
- Monday 6 July, 9:30am–12:00pm
Project and Partnerships Officer Ghazalla Iqbal, said: "Our customers in Alt were clear to us they wanted mental health support in their community and we’re delighted to be able to host these free sessions and work with Calm Ahead and Action Together to deliver them.
“They will equip people with practical skills to support emotional wellbeing and be an accessible guide to help people support others in everyday situations.”
Action Together Community Development Worker Jane Glaysher-White said: “There’s a strong untapped community spirit in Alt and by funding Connect 5 we hope to bring people together and strengthen early mental health support.
Director at Calm Ahead CIC Jenny Eastwood added: “The Connect 5 sessions are about normalising conversations on mental health and we're grateful to FCHO and Action Together who are enabling us to support the community of Alt, to reduce stigmas, remove barriers and to empower the community to support each other."
