"A calming and safe atmosphere"
Finn's Place: People, Connection, Wellbeing
|
Our project takes its name from a cat called Finn.
Finn was beaten and left for dead but he was also found and rescued. He was given a safe home where, thanks to some love, care and attention, he was healthier and happier. Finn lived the remainder of his life in a place of safety. In his new surroundings he was able to move on from the bad experiences of the past. What works for cats also works for people! A supportive environment enables all of us to grow, make friendships and tackle isolation and stress. |

Wellbeing at Finn's Place
The aim of Finn's Place is to provide opportunities for local residents to improve and enhance their wellbeing through a weekly programme of activities and occasional community events.
Wellbeing is when we are living our lives to the full, no matter what circumstances we find ourselves in. At Finn's Place we support wellbeing in mind, body and spirit.
We use the New Economics Foundation 'Five ways to wellbeing' as a guide to all that we offer at Finn's Place. Wellbeing is improved when we Connect with other, Keep learning, Be active, Take notice and Give back.
All Finn's Place activities are open to all over the age of 16. For a list of activities please go to our What's On page.
