Local activities

Castle Point

Sometimes we just need to be somewhere where people know our name. We offer lots of opportunities to get together with others. You can choose from meals, activities, quiet or chatty groups.

There’s no pressure to be anyone other than yourself.

Involvement

 All our activities start with someone coming forward with an idea. As others get behind it, word spreads, and before we know it a new group has grown where people can connect and thrive.

So, if you have an idea for bringing people together, why not come and share it?

Other ways to be involved include: helping in the kitchen at Castle Point, supporting existing groups, or picking up food donations. But don’t underestimate the power of simply being available for a good chat – we all know that having someone to talk to can make all the difference.

If you’re interested in volunteering with us, please contact Marisa.

Support

When life gets tough it can be hard to know where to turn. We all need someone to talk to sometimes, and you can help to find the right support at Castle Point. We have strong links with foodbank providers, debt advice and other services. All our groups and activities are supportive and welcoming – people often say how much better they feel when they go along.

You can contact us Monday – Friday, 9am – 3pm on:
