A warm, welcoming space for wellbeing and connection
A space to pause, connect, and simply be
The Gathering Place is a relaxed and welcoming wellbeing space, open to anyone who would value a little time to slow down and be around others.
We meet every Wednesday during term time, 1:00pm – 3:00pm, at the Vine Centre in Cherry Willingham.

The Gathering Place offers a calm environment where you can simply sit, rest, and take a breath.
There’s no pressure to do anything — you’re welcome just as you are.
