WORKING TOWARDS MENTAL WELLBEING
A welcoming and social community combating isolation, stigma and discrimination for those affected by mental health issues.
The Phoenix Project has been running since 2009. It currently offers a weekly programme of support through the Phoenix Club which meets on Fridays from 10am - 2pm at the Quakers Meeting House in Fonnereau Road, Ipswich.
Hot nutritious lunches are served from 12.30pm.
Phoenix Connects - Friday afternoon creative sessions - run after lunch between 2 - 4pm. These are welcoming weekly sessions that support wellbeing through a programme of art making, nature connection and mindfulness.
See our Phoenix Connects project page for current dates.
Talking about Mental Health
The Phoenix Project is all about combating isolation, tackling stigma and giving a voice to people with experience of mental health issues. Members of the Pass It On Collective and True Thoughts projects have been getting together at South Street Studios, sometimes with invited guests, to talk about the things that support their wellbeing.
