Yeovil Community Day

Our Yeovil Community Day is for anyone experiencing poor mental health who would benefit from attending and participating in group activities or people who just want advice and information. We provide a welcoming place to drop in where people can socialise with others that may be in a similar situation to them, be involved in fun activities or access guidance, reassurance and support. 

The Community Day runs every Wednesday 10:00am- 4:00pm at the Yeovil Foyer Peters Street Yeovil. Our helpful and friendly Support Worker, Annie, is available on the day to offer emotional support and information regarding our services plus signposting to other agencies and services. This project is run by the users of the group who plan and organise various activities and help make decisions about the day. 

Different creative activities are available each week (across a 4/5 week rolling schedule). Our afternoon Art groups are facilitated by experienced art tutors.
