The Open Mind Club is a support group for adults aged 18 to 65, with mental health problems. We meet every Tuesday, Thursday and Friday morning in Camberley. The Open Mind Club has been running for over forty years and provides social meetings, activities and occasional outings for its members.
Activities
During our weekly meetings we have activities such as arts and crafts (particularly card making), a discussion group and a music group. Other activities have included origami, play reading, table tennis and skittles, and dog walking in the recreation grounds. We can provide support to our members by listening to their problems and helping fill in forms.
Special Activities
We have a Christmas party every year, catered by the rotary club. In the past we have had a world cup party.
Outings
Open Mind Club members have enjoyed yearly outings of a summer picnic at the Mytchett Canal Centre, a trip to a pantomime in January, and a canal boat trip on the Basingstoke Canal. Other trips have included a knitting fair at South Hill Park, Hartley Witney Fair, and theatre visits.
