What we’re about
This group is for anyone who is struggling with social anxiety and feeling isolated. Our group holds various events, including social meetups/pub quizzes and more structured practice groups. This allows people to challenge themselves and pick meetups which will either allow a safe space to explore their feelings, practice group speaking or meet new friends. There are different meetups planned every other friday at Rock Road library Community room in Cambridge. Some of the groups will be informal, getting to know others and talking about the challenges that we face. Some may be Board games evenings. Some may be more challenging, practicing group speaking and discussing topics and questions in groups or pairs. Others may include more challenging 'relaxed public speaking' practice groups. There is no pressure to speak or do any of the excercises , but we do encourage this as we have seen the benefits from all the group members. I feel more groups like this should be available as we have seen how it has helped many people to gain more confidence. This is a safe and non judgmental space for people to practice stepping out of there comfort zone. The group is not run by therapists, this is a voluntary group run by people who have personal experience of social anxiety/being shy and lacking self confidence. There is a small charge of £5 to cover the room rental for the library meetups, and tea and coffee will be available.
