About Wellbeing Café
Wellbeing Café runs every Tuesday, 5pm – 6.30pm, at our city-centre home, Star House. The café is a safe space where young people can drop in and get support with their wellbeing in a group setting. It is completely open access, with no booking required. Groups are split into under and over-18s. The café is designed to engage young people in creative ways, improving their access to emotional, psychological, physical and wider wellbeing support.

You’ll be reliable, have good time-management, and strong communication skills.
You’ll feel confident in a group setting (group sizes can vary from 10-20 attendees per week).
Most importantly, you’ll enjoy feeling a rewarding sense of achievement in giving young people a voice and making positive changes to their lives.
