New Connections Groups
The New Connections team has established a number of new, informal, social groups in the Derbyshire Dales. These are: –
Ashbourne – Live well with Pain
Third Thursday, 2.00-4.00pm at the Elim Church Ashbourne
Wirksworth – Live well with Pain
First Thursday of the month, 10.00-12.00noon, at the Eco Centre, Wirksworth
Good Company Café started in May 2023 as an informal way to bring local people together for a coffee and a chat, supporting mental wellbeing by having the chance to chat with others locally, build friendships and to have something regular in the diary each fortnight.
It has been a well-loved group with many friendships built, unfortunately due to the Primary Care Network’s decision to not fund social prescribing from May 2025, our social prescribing team has had to step back from the group.
However, we are really pleased that local organisation Connex, will keep the Good Company Café going and are excited to welcome new members to this lovely group.
First Tuesday in the month at the Wheatsheaf Pub in Baslow.
