Just Friends

Partner / Facilitator feedback

“The wellbeing course last year was excellent. Just Friends’ members were provided with a practical wellbeing toolkit, offered emotional support to deal with loss, and shown some very effective strategies to cope with loneliness. The sessions were delivered in a nurturing, supportive way and included practical, hands‑on exercises intended to develop healthy self‑care habits. The course helped build not only a strong sense of self, but also a real sense of community. I would definitely recommend it to others – Maria and Nicole are incredibly professional, down to earth, and above all, kind.”

The session was delivered in such a warm and thoughtful way, and it was clear that both children and parents felt safe, comfortable, able to share, and have fun whilst learning new techniques.” Lara – Group Facilitator, RISE

“JUST FRIENDS” are always seeking collaboration with organisations that help further it’s cause and we have found an excellent one in Wellbodywellmindwellbeing who have worked so hard with us in providing a needy service to those living alone.  Not only have we enjoyed past success but intend to work with them again, and again, in the future.  Their dedicated team are a tribute to the Charity Sector.  Our members all speak very highly of their presentation and dedication.
