Meets on the first Friday of the month 10.00am – 12:00pm Group facilitators: Charlotte and Shathi Group Facilitator – Charlotte I’ve been volunteering with PANDAS for the past few years after struggling with my own mental health following the birth of my son. I also saw so many other parents around me quietly finding things difficult too. In Haringey, we’re so lucky to be surrounded by amazing parks, stay and plays, baby groups and activities for little ones, but I kept thinking: where can parents say “I’m not OK”? Where can we talk about ourselves, not just our babies? Where can we just be us for a little while? That’s why I was so excited to set up the Haringey PANDAS support group — a warm, welcoming space where local parents can come exactly as they are, speak honestly about what they’re going through, feel listened to and supported, and hopefully leave feeling a little lighter than when they arrived. We’re also so fortunate to be hosted by Woodlands Nursery and Children’s Centre, which is a lovely, child-friendly space where you’re welcome to bring your baby or child along, while also finding out more about the support and activities available locally.
My name is Jason, I'm a local councillor and volunteer when I'm not working as a project manager/SysAdmin/Developer. Keeping busy is important to me. I run a Sunday litter picking group, I volunteer at parkrun on Saturday, and I work in the community with various groups. Being active, breathing in fresh air, getting some daylight, and talking to people are all good for mental health. That's what I want to encourage.

Hi, my name is Mark. I’ve lived in Highley since 2004 and grew up in and around the village. The scenery here is second to none, and it’s always felt like home. Like many men, I’ve been through some tough times myself and know what it’s like to feel low — and to find a way through. That’s why becoming a Walk Leader with Men Walking & Talking means a lot to me. My aim is simple: to help men walk, talk, and feel at ease. To offer empathy, support, and a space where we can look out for each other, especially when life gets difficult.
