Service Description

Forest Friends Friendship Group - Every Monday 1pm-3pm Our BFriend and Wellbeing Friendship Groups run throughout the week in locations across Blackpool. They are friendly, relaxed spaces where people can meet others, feel welcome, and enjoy time together. Each session includes activities such as games, prize bingo, quizzes, and guest speakers. All groups are free to attend, with free refreshments provided, and are open to anyone living in Blackpool. If you feel nervous about attending, extra support is available. People referred into the service can receive personalised support from our staff and volunteer BFriends. This may include meeting someone before the group, being welcomed at the venue, or having someone to sit with during the session. Our Friendship Groups are designed to help people feel more confident, connected, and supported — from their very first visit. Free to book. Free to attend. Everyone welcome.
