Wiltshire: Happy Cafes will now be known as Wiltshire Wellbeing Cafes


Happy Cafés in Wiltshire are having a name change, and will now be called Wiltshire Wellbeing Cafés.

With the Rethink Wiltshire Mental Health Inclusion Service closing in June, we could no longer facilitate Happy Cafés on behalf of Action for Happiness. However, we are pleased to announce that the cafés will be able to continue as registered groups under Rethink Mental Illness - and mainly thanks to the wonderful Rethink volunteers.

Happy Cafés have always been part of the Action for Happiness movement, and although a great ethos we are no longer in the position to use this name. Current attendees and volunteers came to the decision of the new name: Wiltshire Wellbeing Cafés.

There is a dedicated email and webpage for the Wellbeing Cafés:

As well as full details (locations and timings) of the Wellbeing Cafes, there are various publications such as mental health booklets available to download on the webpage.
