Frazzled Cafe in Wimborne - Starting 7th October!

Frazzled Cafe is excited to announce an expansion of our successful face to face meetings for people in the Wimborne area. Led by our amazing Volunteer Team, we are now running sessions every Monday, where local residents can share, listen and be supported in a confidential space.


Similar to our online sessions, these face to face meetings are a non-judgemental and confidential space where people who are feeling frazzled have the chance to be heard. Speaking is optional, and silences can often be welcome.


Meetings take place every Monday at: Wimborne Library, Crown Mead, Wimborne Minster, Wimborne BH21 1HH
Join us for a coffee at 6:15pm, before we start at: 6:30pm-7:30pm


Walking into a new place for the first time can be tricky, so one of our friendly Frazzled Cafe team will be there to welcome you and help you feel comfortable.


As there are limited spaces per meeting, please sign up via the booking page to attend, and cancel your place either using the booking instructions or by emailing team@frazzledcafe.org if you can no longer come so that someone on the waiting list can take your space. For any questions please email team@frazzledcafe.org

Meetings

Frazzled Cafe moved online from Spring 2020. Since then we have a seven-day a week programme and offer three types of meetings almost every day. All of our meetings provide the same safe space to share, talk and listen. We suggest you try each type of meeting, so you can find one that's right for you.


Our different Frazzled Cafe meeting types:

A large Frazzled Cafe meeting with Ruby Wax, usually held three times a week, for around 100 people, and which lasts for an hour. Facilitator meetings are held most days of the week for around 12 people and last for an hour. Host meetings are held every day and are for around 12 people, and last for 45 minutes.


Facilitators have had full Frazzled Cafe training. Most have been with the charity for a number of years and have a professional background in mental wellbeing support. Hosts joined the charity in Spring 2020 when our meetings first went online. They too have had Frazzled Cafe training and Mental Health First Aid training. Many of our Hosts also volunteer for other mental wellbeing initiatives.

Session guidelines

01

To act with integrity. Please respect one another’s confidentiality and anonymity. Please do not name anyone or discuss anything you may hear in a meeting with others who have not attended.

02

To let everyone have a voice. Please respect one another by giving everybody the chance to contribute without interruption and by not dominating or disrupting the conversation. The facilitator may show a white card after 3 minutes to signal the end of a speaker’s turn.

03

To listen without offering solutions. Please focus your contribution on personal experiences and not political/thematic concepts. When speaking please focus on what resonates with you personally, not on providing answers or solutions to others.

04

To be kind to ourselves and each other. This is NOT group therapy and no-one should feel under pressure to say anything. We do hope that in hearing others’ experiences you will feel encouraged to share your own. Whether you speak or not, please treat each other in a supportive and considerate way.

05

To welcome people from all backgrounds and points of view. We have no religious, political or commercial affiliations and ask that participants refrain from promoting any that they might have.

06

To be present. To benefit fully from the session and stay present in the room, please try to avoid distractions from phones or other devices.
