The Front Room Club
Social Inclusion
We want to buy new IT equipment, advertise, bring in people to run workshops and recruit an Enabler.
About this cause
The Front Room Club is a cafe style drop in for those who are experiencing or at risk of social isolation and provides a safe, welcoming and supportive place to grow. The club is a place to meet people, access support and advice, develop social and practical skills, and talk about mental health challenges. Our members come from varying ages, demographics and backgrounds - though the vast majority are over 50 and many have mental health difficulties. With the exception of anti-social behaviour there are no restrictions to people coming to the club. Our objectives are to: - reduce isolation and the negative impact it causes to people's mental and physical health - provide accessible advice and support services for the isolated - encourage people to take an active role in society
How this cause brings people in the community together
This project will benefit the community by improving the well-being of people with mental health problems, which in turn eases the burden on statutory agencies as well as reducing anti-social behaviour. It will also help by reducing social isolation and loneliness, a significant problem in modern society, particularly amongst the elderly, and improving integration of different people groups.
