Sip and Social

Sip and Social is an opportunity to drop-in to see our Wellbeing Practitioner, Eleanor Gillott, for casual conversation and easy-going activities such as board games, creative writing and drawing. Whether you’re at a loose end and fancy a bit of company, or need a chat about something deeper, we’d love to welcome you for a cuppa.

We’ll be creating a space to take time out from your regular routine at different venues across the city, including Hyde Park Book Club (LS6), Galleria (LS12), HEART Headingley (LS6) and Chunk Bakery (LS4).

If you’d like to come to a Sip and Social session, take a look at our Events page for upcoming dates. If you’d be interested in hosting a Sip and Social session at your venue, please contact our Wellbeing Practitioner, Eleanor Gillott.

Accessibility and Safeguarding

We believe that Safeguarding is at the heart of Sanctuary, and you can read our Safeguarding policy here. We do take photos at these events which may be shared in digital spaces and in print, but if you would prefer not to be in these photos, please let a member of our Team know on the day.
