We do this through low pressure social events and creative workshops. We operate across Bristol and run a range of regular events including our:
- Walking groups
- Board game nights
- Craft meet ups
We recognise that socialising is hard, and it’s easy to feel lonely. We built a set of guiding principles to help us achieve our goal of making everyone feel welcome at our events:
🧡 Solo attendees are welcome: a lot of people come to wobbly socials on their own; our volunteers will do their best to give you a warm welcome and make sure you feel included.
🧡 Our events are safe spaces: Our groups are open to anyone between the ages of 18-65, who may feel a bit ‘wobbly’ about socialising. We welcome individuals from all walks of life and value everyone who chooses to join us therefore bullying, harassment or hate speech of any kind will not be tolerated. If you feel unsafe please let one of our volunteers know as soon as possible.
🧡 Our events will always include time for conversation: Socialising is what we’re all about so we’ll always make sure there’s time to chat! We’ll always try and design groups that naturally lend themselves to conversation (such as our walking group) but no matter what we’re doing, we’ll make sure to include down time for people to get to know each other.
🧡 There’s no pressure if you choose to leave early or arrive late: We’re all adults, if you’re not enjoying yourself at one of our events then you can leave and that’s ok! All we ask is that you let one of our volunteers know you’re heading off. If you arrive late we will do our best to accommodate you. At our walking group we will always hang around for 5-10 minutes past the start time to account for any late comers, we can also meet you at points along the route or at the end for a coffee.
🧡 No forced participation You can come to our walks and have your headphones in, board games and never play, crafts and just watch. Come as you are and be around people in a way that feels right for you.
🧡 Our events are never centred around alcohol: Whilst we aren’t an organisation built around supporting people on their sobriety journeys, we are highly aware of the negative impact alcohol can have on your mental health and want to create social spaces without it.
