Support with your wellbeing

One to one well-being appointments

Promoting positive wellbeing is a key value at SYDNI.  Not only do we deliver a range of wellbeing activities such as meditation, walking groups, art, chair exercises and singing but we also have a dedicated Wellbeing Officer who can help you navigate life's challenges and find appropriate support. 

Everyone's problems are different, varied and often complex including:
Loneliness and isolation, lack of support, debt and cost of living worries, food poverty, housing, grief, mental and physical health. The list goes on....

Meet a befriender

We have volunteer befrienders who will spend one to one time with you each week over a 10 week period.  This service is FREE of charge.  Our befrienders offer a listening ear to help you work through challenges you are facing (big or small!)  If you're lonely, isolated or just feel that no one really listens to you then we can help.

Befrienders are reliable, trustworthy support workers who care about helping you without judgement and want to see you make positive change.

Find Connection

Our Centre offers a friendly, welcoming place for people to feel a sense of belonging and to improve all aspects of wellbeing.

First and foremost, we offer opportunities for people to connect with others in everything we do at SYDNI. Loneliness and social isolation are so detrimental to people's health and so we welcome everybody at SYDNI and offer friendship through group activities in a whole host of different areas.

There really is something for everyone! We are a rich and diverse centre with customers from all areas of the community.
