About the Project
Aberystwyth Social Clubs (ASC) is a walk-in service which provides support and group activities to anyone experiencing problems with their mental health and wellbeing. We offer a range of group activities and workshops, as well as the opportunity for informal peer support. Our service is set in a welcoming and therapeutic environment based at 9, Portland Road in Aberystwyth. We are open on Mondays, Tuesdays, Thursdays and Fridays between 9.30am and 2.30pm, and Wednesdays between 12.30pm and 2.30pm.
Who do we support?
We provide support for people aged 18 and over who are residents of the Ceredigion area. We offer practical, therapeutic, holistic and person-centred support to individuals experiencing problems with their mental health and well-being, which comes in the form of creative, practical workshops and peer support. We aim to provide support to people who might be struggling with low mood; stress; anxiety; loneliness; financial worries; family or relationship problems, amongst others.
How do we do it?
The service provides group and workshop activities which are tailored to help users develop existing skills and gain new ones. We want to support our clients to increase their self-confidence and improve their self-esteem. Our groups include art workshops; music and singing groups; IT sessions and recovery groups. We also provide signposting to other services, as well as advice and information.
