We're sad to announce that our community at Beechcroft Village has been disbanded, following differences that arose around moral, disability and equality views within certain groups within the site. We maintain our ethos around full inclusivity, hence the move. Please note that we no longer have any association or support the groups remaining at the Beechcroft Grove site.

We're pleased to share that we're now operating under the new name 'The Phoenix Initiative', encompassing 'St Chad's Community Activities' and 'Art for Wellness'. A new page will be created to give further information in due course.

If you'd like to join any of our new sessions at our temporary venue, or would like more information, please contact Laura on 07793279219.

Good morning everyone. Unfortunately, as it's forecast rain this week, there will be no sessions in the park.

We'll keep you updated though!

Good morning all you lovely people! 💕

The sun is shining 🌞 but we’re still having issues accessing site so we’ve decided to plan ahead.

Next Tuesday 28th July at 6pm for our Time Out Tuesday Social we’re going to be at The Watermillock, Toby Carvery, Crompton Way.

As it would be the week of the mixed quiz night, all are invited. Instead of a social night, it’s a social scran. Even if you don’t usually attend on a Tuesday come and fill your face whilst having a chat and a laugh.

If you want to come along, let us know before Friday and we can book in advance.

Ps Peas on a roast dinner is just WRONG! 😉

Unfortunately the resident is still declining us access to the site via the path, so again we are holding the temporary sessions on Leverhulme park.

These are mixed sessions for anyone to attend. We have some art, mini projects and crafts planned, or you can just come and bring snacks and have a chat!

Wednesday 1pm-3pm social and art
Thursday 1pm-3pm nature walk
Friday 1pm-3pm social and art

It's between the cricket pitch and the car park ( on the left side).

Our members have actually been enjoying these sessions, despite not being able to use our home base.

We would like to apologise for all the
upset and anxiety this is causing. We
know how much all of our members rely
on the service we provide. Our inbox is
always open! Please remember we have
posted links to mental health support
charities as well as being
available to everyone too.

We had a nice catchup on Leverhulme Park yesterday. Join us at 1pm near the carpark and we will be going for a wellbeing walk

13/07/2026

As our site is still closed due to the disagreement over access, we'll be holding a few sessions on Leverhulme park. The details are below. These will be mixed sessions, and we're hoping to get some games and art supplies.

We have borrowed a few camping chairs, but if you have one bring it along with you, or a cushion to sit on.
We will have some picnic blankets too.

Please remember your sub safety, but we will be sitting under the shade.

Location: Leverhulme Park. Just to the left of the main car park down the path ( between the cricket pitch and the path).

Wednesday: 1pm-3pm mixed social
Thursday: 1pm-3pm a walk
Friday: 1pm-3pm mixed social

Feel free to bring your lunch if you fancy a picnic! And remember to bring a drink

*Apologies to all. Due to the ongoing situation with a neighbour and the path onto site we are still unable to access Beechcroft. Be One Homes are working on rectifying this.

The site will remain closed for next week along with all of the usual classes and sessions*
