Express Group Fife in St Andrews is back to Victory Memorial Hall
Created: 28/08/2024Express Group Fife is a mental health charity operating for almost fifty years, providing group activities and one-to-one work for people aged over 18 experiencing poor mental health. Their St Andrews group is moving back to Victory Memorial Hall from 02 September 2024.
The aim of the groups is to promote positive mental health and wellbeing by providing a safe place for sharing experiences, peer support and recovery, where people can relax and move forward at their own pace.
There are currently 12 groups at nine locations across Fife each week, providing various activities to encourage social interaction and confidence building, helping to make new friends and make the most of life in the community. The groups are run by a dedicated group of staff, volunteers, and very much by the members themselves, which creates a feeling of belonging and safety. For some, the groups are perhaps the only place they can meet people and socialise - for others, they are a chance to help and show what they can do. The cooked meal at the end of the morning is a definite draw for many!
