Calderdale Wellbeing Groups
The following groups run every term time from our WomenCentre in Halifax town centre. All groups are open to women aged 18 and over that live in Calderdale, and are completely free to attend.
Tuesday Social Club
Our friendly, relaxed and welcoming social group meets every Tuesday 10am-11:30am in term time.
This relaxed, friendly group is run by two lovely volunteers who are always on hand to greet you and help with any activities you’d like to join. We gather around a large table, creating a welcoming space to chat, connect, and get creative together.
There’s always something on offer — from seasonal crafts, colouring, and drawing, to quiet time with a good book. Some of our group members bring their knitting or crochet projects along, enjoying a cuppa and a chat while they work.
Whether you want to join in with the activities or simply enjoy a hot drink and some company, you’re welcome to take part as much or as little as you like — it’s entirely up to you.
Tea, coffee, and biscuits are provided.
No need to book — just come along!
Note: please check our social media for any updates on this group, including what we’ll be doing in the session and any last minute cancellations.
Healing Moves
Do you want to:
- Develop self-confidence?
- Learn self defence in a safe and supportive environment?
- Gain physical and mental strength?
- Find a new calm and balance in your life?
- Connect with others that understand you?
Healing Moves is a completely free self defence group that meets every Wednesday 10:30am-12pm in term time.
This group is aimed at women that have experienced trauma or abuse and would like to feel more confident and in control at the same time as learning self-defence.
The first hour of the session is the self defence class, and for the last 30 mins a therapeutic counsellor enters the session and is available to speak with should anyone need to.
Please note: this session is taught by both a male and a female instructor.
