SERENDIPITY CREATIVE WRITERS' GROUP
We are a mental health charity open to everyone; We provide a warm safe space for people to meet together, reducing loneliness and isolation, to write creatively about generic exercises (very much user led), although you do not have to be able to write. We talk and share experiences. Our two hour workshops and refreshments are free. We aim to improve mental health and aid better quality of life.
