Common Ground

A supportive outdoor group for people navigating absence, transition, or return to work This 2-hour, facilitated outdoor session offers a gentle, structured space for individuals who are currently out of work, returning after a period of sickness or burnout, or re-orienting themselves following change. Held in a private garden therapy space and surrounding community, the group focuses on connection, confidence, and relational wellbeing, supporting people to feel met where they are, rather than pushed to perform. This is not therapy and not employability training. It is a bridging space: somewhere people can land, reconnect with others, and rebuild rhythm and capacity in a way that feels safe and dignified. This group is suitable for individuals who may be: • On sickness absence or phased return • Recovering from stress, burnout, anxiety, or low confidence • Out of work and feeling isolated or disconnected • Finding traditional return-to-work support too pressurised • Finding navigating life transitions or circumstances difficult • Needing gentle re-engagement with routine, people, and shared activity No diagnosis, disclosure, or work-readiness is required. Held every Thursday- no need to attend every sessions, just what fits
