Our Hendon Better Together Wellbeing Café is led and run by peer volunteers because we believe those with lived experience are best placed to understand what others may be going through.

The café takes place on the 1st and 3rd Friday of each month, from 11:00 am to 1:00 pm, at the Meritage Centre in Hendon (NW4 4JT).

Join us for a great cup of tea (or coffee), friendly conversation, and a range of fun activities like arts & crafts, table tennis, Zumba dance, board games, and much more.

Once a month, we also host our “Singing is Fun” session for anyone who loves a singalong or simply enjoys listening. We regularly invite guest speakers to share something meaningful and interesting with our community.
