Community wellbeing

Communi-TEA

Tea, honest talk, and women who get it. A health check if you want one, a raffle, and a warm chair with your name on it.

Who it is for

A place to start, if you're not sure where to start

Not ready for movement sessions yet

If a fitness class feels like a step too far this week, start here instead. You can sit with us, drink your tea, and that is plenty.

Looking for connection before anything else

Some weeks what you need most is other women in the room. A familiar story. The quiet relief of not carrying it alone. This is that room.

Just needing an afternoon to breathe

No agenda. No pressure. Bring everything on your mind and spend a couple of hours where you don't have to be anything for anyone.

What it is

A community space, not a health service

Women meeting and connecting at a community gathering

Part informal gathering, part peer support, part practical wellbeing conversation. It changes each time. The warmth stays the same.

Women sit down together over tea and treats, say what's actually going on, and sometimes join a wellness conversation or take a simple health check. Care like this happens quietly, across a table, with someone who already understands.

This isn't a medical service. It's a local space, built on the belief that company is a form of care.

A session, step by step

What happens when you arrive

Each afternoon follows a gentle rhythm. Here's what to expect.

First thing

Arrive and settle in

The tea's already brewed and there are snacks on the table. Take any seat that feels right. Start talking, or just sit a moment.

Then

Wellness workshop

A relaxed, practical session on a topic that matters. Fully optional. Join in, listen from the side, or keep chatting over your cup.

Alongside

Health checks

Simple health checks in a calm, unhurried corner. Blood pressure, BMI, and more. Done quietly, with care.

To close

Wind down

The afternoon eases to a close over open conversation. Numbers swapped, plans made for next time, everyone home a little lighter.

Practical details

Everything you need to know

When

Where

Cost

Small fee

A small fee to attend, with tea and treats included. If cost's a barrier, ask quietly about a donated spot.

What to bring

Yourself and your ticket

Nothing to prepare. Book when the next date is announced, then just turn up.

Booking

Required

Childcare

Not currently available

We can't offer childcare yet, though we hope to. If that's a barrier for you, please get in touch.

Topics and themes

Real conversations, real life

The topics are shaped by what the women in the room want to talk about. No fixed curriculum. Just whatever feels useful and honest.

“I came expecting a health talk. I walked out three friends richer and feeling a lightness I haven’t felt in years. It’s rare to find a space where you actually feel seen.”
