Connection Cafes
As part of the 2023 Perth and Kinross Mental Health and Wellbeing Festival, we have organised a programme of informal and free 'connection cafes' which will run throughout June, July and August. Each connection cafe will give you the opportunity to chat with like minded people whilst at the same time getting the chance to find out about what support is available in the local community. The sessions will be very informal and most likely involve hot drinks and cake! You can drop into as many as you like and there is no need for booking. Just turn up at the designated time and date which you can find below.
We look forward to seeing you there!
