Better Together Wellbeing Café

The Better Together Wellbeing Cafés are a peer-volunteer led service which offers a warm and welcoming space for local residents to relax, connect, and enjoy a variety of activities together.

The Cafés are jointly organised with Meridian Wellbeing by peer-volunteers who have lived experience of mental health and wellbeing. Meridian Wellbeing believes that those with lived experience are best place to understand how to support others who might be struggling. 

We and our peer-volunteers aim to support local residents by:

• Helping combat social isolation

• Promoting wellbeing

• Providing information and connection

• Building community links and celebrating diversity

• Creating a sense of belonging and community

Whether you would like support with service navigation, a friendly chat, a game of table tennis or board games, some arts & crafts, or simply a good cup of tea or coffee, there is something for everyone.

We currently have two Cafés running in Hendon and New Barnet. You can find out more, including how to register, below. 

The project is currently funded by the Area Committee Community Infrastructure Levy (CIL) from Barnet Council, and was built from the original pilot EN4 Wellbeing Café funded by the Barnet Innovation Fund. 

Our Better Together Wellbeing Café in Hendon takes place on Fridays between 11am to 1pm at the Meritage Centre, Hendon NW4 4JT.

The Café runs twice a month during the 1st and 3rd full weeks and is led by our peer-volunteers. 

We have Singing for Fun once a month, and guest speakers are also welcome.

Everyone is welcome to come along and join our friendly community.
