Friendship Group

Hello! We’re FoodCycle Portsmouth John Pounds Centre. We collect food from retailers that would otherwise be thrown away, and with the help of lovely volunteers cook it up into a tasty, healthy three-course meals for those most in need in our city.

We cook and serve tasty three-course hot meals from The John Pounds Centre in Old Portsmouth every Wednesday at 6pm.

Friday Fridge provides hot food and some practical support for those in need. It is a safe place to relax, chat, pray and get guidance.

We're open to all and free of charge so do drop in or find out more at www.sjs.church

Friends Without Borders is a charity that provides support for asylum seekers, refugees and immigrants within the Portsmouth area.

Singing is fun and also good for you and we are trying a range of songs from the musicals, modern pop, old classics and ABBA type music. After singing we reward ourselves with a cuppa & cake or biscuits.

WHAT IS MenWalkTalk?
Supporting Wellbeing. Building Communities.

MenWalkTalk is a UK charity that creates safe, supportive spaces for men to walk, talk and connect with others.

We organise free, volunteer-led walk-and-talk groups in parks, along seafronts, through woodlands and towns, bringing men together in a relaxed, pressure-free way to support their mental wellbeing.

There’s no pressure to talk, no judgement and no expectations. Whether you want to open up, listen or just enjoy being around others, you’ll be welcomed exactly as you are.

What started with a single walk in Littlehampton has now grown into a network of men walking and talking across the UK.

Every walk is built on the same simple belief: that walking side by side can change lives.

So whether you’re looking for support, wanting to meet new people or just need a reason to get outside, MenWalkTalk is here for you.

Why Join a Walk?
Meet other men in a relaxed, pressure-free environment
Enjoy fresh air and gentle exercise
Build connection, routine, and wellbeing
No need to book—just show up.

Over 50 Live at Home Schemes now operate across the UK, enabling older people to maintain their independence and live more fulfilled lives.

These services aim to relieve social isolation and encourage older people to take an active part in the communities in which they live.
