HIVE Directory: Cultural & Faith Groups

We are representative of Pakistani expats living in Portsmouth and their surroundings, we organise our cultural and social events and provide an atmosphere so families can feel like at home.

We work with families living in isolation and help them to overcome mental health issues or family problems. We support them socially, and mentally and sometimes find work for them so they can look after themselves. We focus on our children's education so they can do their best in their lives.
Our motto is UNITY, FAITH, DISCIPLINE AND VALUES.

Life can be full of surprises and sometimes it can be difficult to cope. Whatever troubles you face whilst at uni – a sudden change in circumstances, a loss of some kind or a tough decision – our University Chaplains can offer support, guidance and a willing ear.

The Chaplaincy Centre and Prayer Rooms are found in St Paul's Road, PO5 4AQ. It is available to all students and staff for a confidential chat, somewhere to have lunch with friends, or just some quiet space.

We'll listen to you confidentially about whatever you want to explore. Our Chaplains have pastoral skills that can help with establishing values, meaning and purpose for living.

By affirming these truths, and desiring to know the power of them in the heart, the church at Salem Chapel seeks to uphold its original purpose as stated in the chapel's Trust Deed of 1824:

"For promoting the Christian religion as it is professed by Protestant Dissenters of the Denomination of Particular Baptists."

Earthworm Sangha is a monthly meditation group run by and for disabled, neurodiverse and chronically ill people.

We meet monthly, online over Zoom, to practice half an hour of peer-led silent meditation, followed by community sharing. It’s free to attend from your sofa, sick bed or meditation cushion, and there is no expectation to speak in the group or have your camera on, your presence with us is a gift. For those who are newer to practice we will share links to resources such as guided meditation although our main practice is silent.
