Our Peer Mentor training is a group experience for people with lived experience of mental health challenges. Participants are offered peer mentorship training based on the Peer2Peer approach and opportunities to build the skills through volunteering opportunities in West Kent Mind initiatives and wider community settings. The training is based on the idea that people who have experienced mental health difficulties can intentionally use that experience to support others. The course is free and takes place across 10 weeks. The training is experiential and participatory, involving reflection, group work, storytelling, and skills practice. This group is available to men who live or work in the Sevenoaks District.

Proud to Create is a welcoming creative space for LGBTQ+ people and allies to explore the powerful relationship between art, identity, protest, and visibility. In our workshops we'll paint, draw, print, collage, use textiles, banner-making, zine creation - all sorts of mixed media! Experimenting with different forms of protest art while developing our own visual language building creative confidence. We will explore themes of Pride, activism, belonging, storytelling, and self-expression in a supportive and inclusive environment. A space to create authentically and without judgement.
The period leading up to and after a diagnosis can be a very challenging, bewildering and emotional time for parents and carers. The ASD Carers’ Support Group offers a relaxed, friendly and confidential place to share your experiences and feelings with carers and parents who have had similar experiences.
We have a community garden at our centre in Sevenoaks, which is maintained by a dedicated Mindful Gardening group who meet weekly, whatever the weather! The group has created a beautiful organic wildlife garden, which includes a pond and produces flowers, fruit and vegetables. We know that being active outside and spending time in green spaces helps us to destress and relax. Gardening can improve your mood, give you a sense of purpose and working alongside others is a great way to combat feelings of isolation. The garden provides solace and space, and all are welcome.
Connect with others, develop your creative skills and improve your wellbeing. This friendly and relaxed online group runs for 12 weeks. Explore a variety of art techniques including drawing, watercolours, paper crafting and much more!
