Community Support

Sessions held weekly on a Thursday

Chris Bryant Centre

1.30 – 4.30 pm

Sessions include:

• Free tea, coffee, fruit, and soup.
• Arts and crafts activities.
• Board games and access to a community bookshelf.
• Advice and guidance leaflets.
• Monthly targeted wellness sessions, covering topics such as yoga, fitness, cooking, sexual health, mental health, and employability – attendees will be consulted on this with regular suggestions and feedback given.
• Free sanitary packs with hygiene products, which will be provided through our community sanitary bank.
• Connections to our onsite community pantry, stay and play sessions, employment and training opportunities, and community café initiatives.

We are proud to announce the opening of our sanitary bank at all YMCA Heart of England sites.

From menstrual products to nappies and personal hygiene essentials, we’re here to support everyone’s well-being. Reach out to your housing staff to learn more and request your essential products, because everyone deserves access to dignity and comfort.

Let’s break the stigma and ensure no one is left behind.
