Time to Talk at Insomnia Cafe in Blaby, Leicestershire

Date Published: 06/02/2025 | Blog category: Southern

Today, the Membership & Community Council took part in "A Time to Talk", a National campaign to get people talking about health and well-being. We took along some tastings, games, information and colouring in addition to having a good old natter with those who attended. And of course there was a free cuppa for those wishing to participate.

It was a very successful event and we talked to lots of local people who were experiencing loneliness and isolation, recently lost a loved ones, had health worries or generally feeling below par.

Most people joined in with the mindful colouring whilst sharing experiences, or just enjoyed a conversation. Quite a few stayed for the duration of the whole event and thanked us when they left and "it was good to talk".

If today, makes a difference to just one person's life, it is a day well spent.

Thank you to Insomnia Cafe who always make everyone feel welcome who walks through the door, and for being so supportive of this event.
