Our goal is to help those in need find free or very affordable, help and support without having to pay 100-200$ to get introduced to these forms of therapeutic activities.

Maidenhead Softball Club

Maidenhead, B9

Maidenhead Softball Club

Maidenhead Softball Club (MSC) is a mixed softball club based in Maidenhead and playing in the Windsor & Maidenhead Softball League. Formed in the late 90's from employees at a local technology firm the club has grown from a single team to a club with 3 mixed teams, one female team and 40 members ranging in age from 14 to over 50.

So if you are looking to get into a new, fun sporting activity. Softball is a fun social mixed team sport and can be played by anyone 14+. No experience necessary and no equipment required, Maidenhead Softball Club will provide the equipment and the coaching to help you get activity and enjoying Softball quickly.

What is softball?
Softball is a social and enjoyable sport that’s easy to learn and play, even for people who are not “athletes” or don’t have much experience of team sports – and the game offers particular opportunities for women.

It’s a lot like baseball in terms of the rules, but because the ball is pitched slowly to each batter (as the name implies!), it’s easy to hit the ball and succeed at the sport’s central skill. The fact that men and women play together in the same team and on an equal level gives the sport a social buzz, and most softball games are followed by sessions at the local pub!

Getting Involved
MSC runs weekly sessions on Friday evenings for anyone wishing to give the sport a go. The sessions vary in location and time depending on the season. During the Autumn and Winter it's at Newlands Girls School from 6pm, during Spring and Summer sessions run from 6:30pm at North Maidenhead Cricket Club.

The Happy Introverts Group

Staines, N7

The Happy Introverts Group
Welcome and Greetings to everyone!! Here is welcome anyone that feels unique and is open to enjoy a family community. When we think of people as being introverted, social anxiety, we often wrongly assume that they are people who don’t like people and often lead to social isolation. This group is created to prove that introvert, social anxious or shy people do like to go out and enjoy activities. There are different qualities and patterns of behaviour that define an introvert or reason behind a person with social anxiety. The most common and how you would be able to understand according to psychologists are: 1\. You enjoy having time to yourself\. 2\. Your best thinking occurs when you’re by yourself\. 3\. You lead best when others are self\-starters\. 4\. You’re the last to raise your hand when someone asks for something from a group\. 5\. Other people ask you for your opinion\. 6\. You often wear headphones when you’re in a public situation\. 7\. You prefer not to engage with people who seem angry or upset\. 8\. You receive more calls\, texts\, and emails than you make unless you have no choice\. 9\. You don’t initiate small talk with salespeople or others with whom you have casual contact\. There are many research showing that socialising it can alter your consciousness and bring more happiness in your life. Here is an article from a research in Germany. [https://www.psychologicalscience.org/news/releases/social-pursuits-linked-with-increased-life-satisfaction.html](https://www.psychologicalscience.org/news/releases/social-pursuits-linked-with-increased-life-satisfaction.html) We will organise events in different activities like games, comedy shows, culture, writing, poetry, meditation, sports activities, and anything else that is creative. I will end with two favourite quotes. "None of us, including me, ever do great things. But we can all do small things, with great love, and together we can do something wonderful." – Mother Teresa "Alone we can do so little; together we can do so much." – Helen Keller
