The reception is a place where people can speak openly about whatever they’re facing – whether that’s addiction, mental health struggles or simply feeling overwhelmed.  It isn’t a recovery group, but a friendly space for support, listening and encouragement.  If you feel you might need further help, we can gently signpost you to the right places.  There is no judgement here.  Everyone is welcome.  Those who lead the Reception have also been through difficult times in the own lives, so we understand and can relate to one another with honesty and compassion.  We meet every thursday at 7pm in the session room at the Gardner Memorial.  For more information, email  TheReceptionGroup@outlook.com
