You will have the opportunity to attend regular meet ups at the local places near you. Coffee mornings, pubs, cinemas, live music events, days out, restaurants, and lunches. You will also be able to explore the Solent and surrounding areas through organised walks. The organisers are keen to set up new things so if there is something you fancy doing then let one of them know and opportunities will be explored. Our events are hosted by a friendly organiser or event host, who will be more than happy for you to contact them prior to the event  via the site. We are a non-profit making group but do have to cover our site fees and costs. The membership is £12  pro-rated Jan-Dec and is due by 2nd January. ( or when you join. Please ask for details of how to pay). Throughout the year we have random gifts at some events and at the year end we make a  donation  to local charities.  If you see an event you fancy and are free that day add your rsvp.

Please be respectful to hosts and their voluntary time by changing rsvp if you can not attend events to allow others to attend. We have a small team of hosts who arrange and manage all the events. As you can imagine this would not be a successful group without those individuals putting in some time and effort to arrange all the varied events. If there’s something you would like to do that is not listed feel free to discuss it and we would be happy for you to join the hosting team. We look forward to meeting you and sharing in the joy of new experiences Please note this is not a dating site. Over 18s only. Members are responsible for their own safety at all events. Paid events If an advance payment is required through NHBT or organiser/host account, payment remains non refundable as the payment would have been paid to secure the event. Unless someone else moves into the vacant waitlist spot and pays then it is obvious that a refund is not applicable. However, if an event is cancelled by the organiser, host or third party then a full refund will be paid if reimbursed in full by the organising company Please note if you are disrespectful to another member you will be removed from group.

I started by organising these events to spread love and kindness, which is a big purpose in my life. I also run other projects that may benefit you or others because I have seen a big need for them. It has been so successful in every way, more than I ever imagined, and they have helped so many people in so many ways, which filled my heart with so much joy. You will need to be quick because they fill up quick!   We are building an incredible community, and even some people say a family. We have been building something special and changing people's lives for the better, and everyone is a part of that, so thank you. Hopefully, you will join this group to improve your wellbeing and health.   Looking to improve your life and wellbeing and have some fun along the way? Are you looking to get out with some like-minded people? Trying to figure out how to be happier?   My name is Mark D'Arcy, and I am the founder and creator of the New Forest Wellbeing Group, which aims to help you with your wellbeing and mental health and have a lot of fun doing it. The group will be doing walks, talking from the heart, picnics, camping, meals out, and other events.   My own purpose in life is to spread kindness and love with a caring attitude. This is the perfect way to achieve that, along with the other projects I do. Also, I am trying to change the world by bringing people together through spreading kindness, love, and compassion, which fills my own heart with so much joy! It’s a win-win for everyone.   I believe I can help you find some happiness and hopefully understand yourself more, especially in this crazy world we live in.   I encourage everyone to bring an open mind and a willingness to meet new people and make lasting, meaningful friendships. Our group will aim to provide a safe and supportive environment for anyone who needs it, and everyone over 18 is welcome. I will also offer some mindfulness and self-care strategies on our walks to help promote positive mental health.   The purpose is to bring like-minded people together while socialising face-to-face, helping people combat loneliness and mental health issues while having some meaningful conversations and connections.   My goal is to create a community where everyone feels seen, heard, and valued. I hope to inspire and empower our members to lead healthier and happier lives.   So, if you're ready to join a community that values kindness, mental health, and wellbeing while having some fun, then the New Forest Wellbeing Group is the perfect group for you.

Welcome to the New Forest Mental Health Group. This group is for individuals 18–25 years old who are interested in discussing and seeking support for mental health issues. Whether you are struggling with anxiety, depression, PTSD, or any other mental health challenge, this group provides a safe and compassionate space to share experiences, learn coping strategies, and build a supportive community. Let's come together to break the stigma surrounding mental health and offer each other empathy, understanding, and encouragement on our journey towards healing and well-being. Join us for meetups, workshops, and events that prioritise mental health and self-care. This is what the group is about and how it can help. Looking to improve your life and wellbeing, and maybe have some fun along the way? Are you looking to hang out with some like-minded people? Trying to figure out how to be happier or deal with negative thoughts? Feel like you do not belong? My name is Mark Darcy, and I am the founder and creator of a New Forest Mental Health Group that aims to help you with your mental health and have some fun doing it. My own purpose in life is to try and change the world by bringing people together through spreading kindness, love, and compassion, which fills my own heart with so much joy! It’s a win-win for everyone. I have vast experience in life, coming from a tough childhood to being a successful, wealthy international businessman. Besides being a sponsored triathlete and having suffered from mental illness myself in the past, I am now transformed and truly happy and grateful for the small things in life that we can miss, and I look at my thoughts in a different way because we are very unkind to ourselves. Is there good or bad? Or maybe life is a journey, and along the way, we experience things that we learn from. I believe I can help you find happiness and hopefully understand yourself more, especially in this crazy world we live in when we can feel hopeless. I set up this group to try to help people between the ages of 18 and 25 years old. Collectively, my own life experiences, the great outdoors, amazing venues, 6-week practical courses, and peer-to-peer support from young people like you who have had challenges can demonstrate how they are starting to deal with them. I believe I can help people understand more about the complicated and often challenging world we live in; furthermore, we can teach ourselves how to be happy! (Believe it or not, you don’t have to have loads of money or materialistic things!) My real passion in life is to help people in any way I can. Therefore, I have volunteered for Solent Mind and been involved with other local charities. I'm the founder of the New Forest Wellbeing Group, which has become so successful. What is success? to me, changing people's lives for the better. I have also done talks in the past on wellbeing for the Dorset Chamber of Commerce, charities, and business leaders, as well as a city-center wellbeing walk in Sounthampton. Finally, I will spread kindness and love whenever I can. Small acts of kindness make a big difference, and just choosing to spend your time speaking to someone is being kind. The New Forest wellbeing group I run is on this website, so if you or anyone you know would benefit, please check it out. It has an incredible following, and spaces fill up very quickly, with up to 40 people on the waiting list! We have a lovely community feel within this group, and that really helps people feel included, a part of something, supported, happy, and learn something. I know the group has helped people beyond what they even hoped for, and I am grateful for all the wonderful messages I have received and the conversations I have had. If we all did one act of kindness every day, the world would be an amazing place for everyone. Therefore, please spread the word, because this can help you and your friends. I can also promise you that it will be fun and safe, and you will learn along the way! Even if it just gets you out of your own head and out of the house for a few hours, combined with meeting like minded people and not forgetting the laughs, that alone is a huge achievement and will bring you so much happiness and enrichment. Not only that, it could bring new friendships, supportive relationships, a sense of belonging, and a sense of achievement too. This is an incredible opportunity for you and your friends! So please be kind, share it, and pass it on to everyone that you feel it could help. Taking the path of most resistance can be the most satisfying, but we are wired to take the path of least resistance to protect us, whether that is living or surviving. Why not take the path of most resistance, and I promise you will not get home and wish you didn't go If you are interested or have any questions, contact me directly. I would love to speak to you.

Change your life, meet new people, have the best nights out and become part of the family. You won't regret it!

Welcome everyone! This is a group for anyone who lives in Southampton or the surrounding areas (London, Winchester etc) who enjoy playing racket sports (e.g badminton, squash and table tennis), and would like to play these sports on a regular basis with other people who share the same interests, on both an individual one-on-one basis or with a group, on a casually and leisurely basis. At the same time, it would be a great means of socialising with others and meeting new friends with shared interests from the same area/region, whilst providing further opportunities for organising social events outside the sports sessions.
