Embrace Wellbeing This July with Mental Health Matters Wales

At Mental Health Matters Wales, we understand how vital it is to nurture your mental and emotional wellbeing — especially in times when support and connection matter most. That’s why we’re delighted to share our Wellbeing Hub and Group Activities calendar for July 2025, packed with opportunities to engage in creative, supportive, and socially enriching sessions throughout the month.

What’s Happening This July?

Our weekly activities take place in friendly, accessible venues across Bridgend and nearby communities, designed to meet a variety of interests and support needs:

Monday: Guitars for Veterans & Wellbeing Hub + Breathing Space

• Guitars for Veterans (Mondays, 11.00 am – 12.00 pm, Union Offices, Bridgend) offers an innovative music programme providing lessons and support tailored for military veterans. It’s a chance to learn, express yourself, and connect with others who share your experience.

  
  

• Later in the afternoon (Mondays, 1.00 pm – 3.00 pm), the Wellbeing Hub and Breathing Space welcomes all to relax through creative arts and breathing exercises, guided by Tanio — available on 7th and 14th July only.

  
  

Tuesday: Wellbeing Hub + Breathing Space with Tanio

• From 11.00 am to 1.00 pm at Wyndham Boys & Girls Club, Ogmore Vale, join Tanio for fun, creative arts sessions designed to uplift and inspire. These take place on 1st, 8th, and 15th July.
