social support
You will find a friendly and
welcoming atmosphere at
Faulkner Road. Our support
workers can show you around
on your first visit - just come
along when it is open, you
don’t have to make an
appointment or be referred by
a social worker or doctor.
We know it can be difficult
coming to an unfamiliar
building and meeting new
people so, if you wish, you can
phone beforehand so we can
look out for your arrival, or you
can arrange to have a look
around and meet the support
workers when the service isn’t
running.
The building is a semi-
detached house so the rooms
are a friendly size, with a
conservatory and garden (with
a shelter for wet weather
smoking). There’s a TV room
and a radio/CD player in
another room, plus access to
computers/internet, so
whether you want to chat with
others or have some quiet
time on your own you should
be able to find the level of
support you need.
There is a women only session
held on Friday afternoons
between 11-30pm and 2pm. As
well as the opportunity to
socialise in a safe and friendly
atmosphere there is the
opportunity to discuss issues
that affect women.
Meals are available on
Wednesdays, Saturdays, and
Sundays. The Wednesday “Eat
and Meet” is a cooked meal
and on Sunday there is a
Sunday dinner - roast,
potatoes, and vegetables.
Snack food, such as beans on
toast or sandwiches, and a
cooked meal are available on
Saturday lunchtimes. On all
meal days there are
vegetarian/vegan options.
The art/crafts group is on
Thursdays, in the morning,
between 10am and 12-30pm.
Projects or activities are
usually decided by the group
themselves and have included,
as well as drawing and
painting, crafts such as
mosaics, clay modelling, glass
painting etc. You can also
bring your own art or craft to
work on if you prefer. All
materials are provided and are
free - and you can take home
your artwork too!.
In the afternoon between 1pm
and 4-30pm we will be
running a music group when
we have a new volunteer to
run it. Like the other arts
activities it’s an enjoyable and
fun way to have a go at
something you might not
have considered before.
