Community Support London

Chronic pain support group

We meet up, drink far too many teas and coffees and talk about our own experiences of living with chronic pain and injury. We share coping mechanisms, funny stories and do our best to support one another. We are not medically trained and do not offer medical advice, we simply share how we have tried to deal with our own issues. We come from all walks of life and do not turn anyone away nor do we ask someone to share if they don’t want to, we just want to offer a bit of help to those who are in pain.

Balancers Community Volunteering - Clothing Distribution

Hi Balancers, We believe community is about more than meeting new people. It's also about showing up for those who need support. As part of our ongoing partnership with Refugee Community Kitchen, we're inviting you to join us for a different kind of volunteering session. This time, we’re joining **Refugee Community Kitchen (RCK)** at their Goodge Street service to provide essential clothing to people who need it. 👕 **HOW IT WORKS** We’ll meet at **6:00 PM in front of the Dominion Theatre**. From there, we’ll cross the road to Primark and split into small groups. Each group will be given a few essential clothing items to find and buy. Once we’re done, we’ll walk about **5 minutes to Goodge Street**, join the RCK service and distribute the clothing while their team serves food. 💷 **CHIPPING IN** We’ll collect contributions from the group and use the full amount to buy the clothing that evening. If you can, **bring some cash** — but there’s absolutely no pressure to contribute much. Even **£1 helps**, and you’re just as welcome to volunteer regardless of how much you contribute. 💬 **Join our Volunteer WhatsApp group for updates and coordination:** [https://chat.whatsapp.com/Hzm7P7Tr0QD92MnwmpHTVK?s=cl&p=a&ilr=1](https://chat.whatsapp.com/Hzm7P7Tr0QD92MnwmpHTVK?s=cl&p=a&ilr=1) 🤝 **NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED** We’ll explain everything on the day. Just bring yourself and be ready to help. **Good to know:** 📍 Meet: In front of the Dominion Theatre ⏰ 6:00 PM 👕 Primark is directly across the road 🚶 Goodge Street is around 5 minutes away As always, Respect, Kindness and Authenticity come first. We’re there to support people with dignity and without judgment. Let’s keep showing what our community can do when we act with heart. See you there 💛

Mudchute City Farm | ADHD Social | Everyone Welcome

YAY!-DHD Goes Feral! Saturday 29th August, 1200hrs onwards Mudchute → Greenwich £2 (booking fee) + whatever you spend later A full Saturday of livestock, light walking and eventual pub-based decline. We’ll begin at Mudchute Park & Farm, 32 acres of countryside on the Isle of Dogs, surrounded by the sort of buildings in which very serious people move numbers between columns. There are sheep, goats, pigs, llamas, donkeys and various other animals who have, for the most part, avoided LinkedIn. 1200 – Crossharbour DLR We’ll meet outside Crossharbour DLR and walk over together. If you’re late, we’ll post where we are. No police inquiry will be held if you're five minutes late. 12:00–3:00pm – Mudchute City Farm We’ll spend a few hours wandering around the farm. There is no major agenda beyond looking at animals, talking to people and existing temporarily outside the normal administrative framework. A head's up, the animals may have greater executive function than you, but we get to go to the pub later. They don't. There may be a small and entirely unnecessary Yay!-DHD Farm Challenge. Possible categories include: Which animal most closely resembles your present internal condition? Which animal would you trust to complete and return a form correctly? Which animal appears to have already accepted the essential tragedy of existence? Which one would make the strongest middle manager? Which animal should be given control of the group finances? No prizes of significance will be awarded. We bask in mediocrity here at ADHD Towers. You are also entirely welcome to ignore this and look at a sheep, idc. 3:30pm – Departure At around 3.30 we’ll leave the farm and walk through Millwall Park towards Island Gardens. From there we’ll cross beneath the Thames through the Greenwich Foot Tunnel. This will be a gentle walk rather than an endurance event. We’ll stop when necessary, regroup when necessary and lose approximately one person every twelve minutes before finding them again near something interesting. Eventually we will emerge in Greenwich, altered only slightly by the experience. Around 4:00pm-ish onwards – Pub We’ll then go to The Gate Clock. To my chagrin, it is a Wetherspoons. This decision has been made following a rigorous assessment of London drink prices. There will be food, booze (if you degenerates like that kind of thing), soft drinks and chairs, and the profound loss of hope! The remainder of the afternoon can then develop naturally into the familiar social pattern of five conversations occurring simultaneously, one person returning from the bar with an entirely different group of people, and somebody discovering at 6:17pm that another attendee also has unusually strong opinions about a highly specific subject. Stay for one drink, dinner, several hours, or until some internal mechanism informs you that you have finished. Cost Mudchute is free to visit, although organised groups pay a booking fee, so we’ll charge £2 per person towards that. Anything after that is just whatever you choose to buy. Drinking alcohol is entirely optional. You can join partway through You don’t have to attend the full migration. Farm: join us around midday. Walk: join us around 3pm. Pub: join us in Greenwich from roughly 4pm. We’ll post our location during the day. Wear sensible-ish shoes if it has been raining. As always, there’s no requirement to remain with the main group continuously. Wander around. Sit somewhere. Change conversations. Take ten minutes alone. Arrive late. Leave early. Accidentally become very interested in a goat. The day has no performance targets. Yay!-DHD is meant to be a space where people feel safe and at ease. Not everyone is looking to connect beyond the event or pursue anything romantic, so please be mindful of that and respect boundaries at all times.

August 2026 Support Group - LGBTQI+ People & Parents from Religious Families

Dads in the City - Listen and Be Heard

This is a monthly group for fathers — a space to listen and be heard. While fatherhood is something we all share, the group is not limited to talking about our children — it’s a space to talk about whatever is on your mind, with the understanding that we are all experiencing life through the lens of being a father. \-\-\-\-\- **When:** 7pm–9pm · First Monday of each month (or the following Monday if the first Monday is a bank holiday) **Where:** 10-mins walk from Old Street or Barbican stations. The address is shared to attendees via WhatsApp **Price:** First session free · £25/month thereafter \-\-\-\-\- **What to expect** * No need to bring anything — come as you are * A non-judgemental space — you're free to speak openly, with no pressure to share anything you’re not comfortable sharing * Small group of 7 dads (including me, Mem, your facilitator) to keep the space comfortable and focused * Once the group reaches capacity, it closes to new members, so that the same group of dads meet each month, creating greater familiarity, comfort and trust within the space \-\-\-\-\- Attendance is dependent on reading and agreeing to the [Ground Rules](https://docs.google.com/document/d/1K_jGrvkGZ0_8xnrd4yZ7lw4YlX0DlXL9). This is an ongoing monthly group, and new members are welcomed when space allows and it's appropriate for the group. If you're interested, and in order to confirm your place, please message Mem via WhatsApp on 07707 507957. \-\-\-\-\- *This event is advertised across multiple platforms, and so attendance displayed on Meetup does not reflect number of attendees confirmed*
