Heart & Soul is a community of volunteers, specialist NHS Chaplains and peer support workers who host a variety of activities, religious services and groups that include and welcome people of all faiths and none at CPFT's base in Fulbourn.
This activity is good for wellbeing because
- attending groups and activities provides a reason to get out of the house once a week;
- it reduces isolation and loneliness;
- connecting with others and sharing coping strategies can enhance personal resilience.
"Apart my monthly sessions with my psychotherapist attending Heart & Soul's Coffee Club is the best thing I do for my well-being: it really helps to talk to others here who face similar challenges."
