People in Wellington will be able to drop into weekly wellbeing sessions being launched in the town next week, writes Phil Hill.

The REGAIN Wellington Wellbeing Hub will offer "a safe, confidential space for help, advice, or just a quiet chat over a hot drink."

It will open at the King’s Arms Community Hub, at 4 High Street, on Tuesdays from next week (February 24) from midday onwards.

A spokesperson for Somerset Drug and Alcohol Service, one of the partners, said: "Whether you need support, want to regain control of your life, or just want to escape the cold for a bit, our doors are opening.

"No appointment needed, no stigma, just friendly faces.

"A warm welcome awaits at Wellington’s wellbeing hub.

"Let’s build a stronger, healthier Wellington together."

Other partners are Somerset Council, NHS Somerset, Nelson’s Trust, Arc Inspire, Wellington Town Council, and Thrive.

REGAIN will become an independent organisation run by volunteers and mentors with lived experience.

The opening will feature presentations followed by the chance to join in workshops run by the partner organisations.
