Friendship Group

Live at Home was established in 1989 by MHA, a charity providing care homes, housing and support services for older people throughout Britain.

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.

Milton Village Community Association is situated in the Milton area of Southsea, Hampshire.

We hold monthly coffee mornings on the 2nd Friday of each month 10.30 - 12noon at the Living Well Centre, for people living with MND and their carers, family and friends.

These meetings provide an informal opportunity to meet with other people living with the disease and to share experiences and ideas. 

The Solent Multiple Sclerosis Therapy Centre is an independent, self-funding charity that is part of a network of MS Therapy Centres throughout the UK.

Personal Choice has been set up as we recognise that older people and their relatives and/or carers in Portsmouth, particularly the Charles Dickens ward need more accessible information, advice, support and opportunities for social integration to address the problems of economic and social deprivation and improve their independence and well being. We also aim to support older people in the years preceding retirement to address issues that could lead to poverty and isolation in later years.

A new venue in Portsmouth by and for people under 30. We are re-imagining Playland – the abandoned arcade on Commercial Road – into a vibrant, youth-led creative space. And it’s a totally blank canvas…for now!

Wherever you are on your journey and whatever you are passionate about – Playland is a safe space to express yourself, and access opportunities to build skills and experience for your creative career.

We’re looking for young people aged 16 – 30 to help shape every part of this new space: from designing the blank-canvas interior into a functional and playful space, to planning what will take place there.

In return we’ll offer training, mentoring, and shadowing opportunities, and we will support you to make your ​‘dream’ events come true. This is a chance for you to co-create something from the ground up, shaping it as YOU think it should be.

The Portsea Men’s Shed is located in the Wickham Street Car Park opposite the Hard Interchange bus station. The entrance is through an open gate on the corner of Wickham Street and Clock Street.

We are open to visitors, prospective new members and people asking for our help in carrying out handicraft projects on Monday, Wednesday and Friday mornings from 9:30am.

Portsmouth Association for the Blind is a Charity that has existed and evolved since 1922. It serves the needs of Blind and Vision Impaired people whether they are registered or not.
Members are free to make their own way to our groups or we offer a door to door escorted mini-bus service.
