Visiting the Grapevine

The Grapevine Wellbeing Centre offers a safe, non-judgemental, supportive space for anyone struggling with their mental health or wellbeing. It is a free, open-door service; no one has to wait for a referral or diagnosis, and support is not time-limited. As well as daytime drop-in support, we offer regular social, creative and nature-based group activities either within the Centre or in the wider community. More recently, we have developed a programme of talks on a range of themes relating to mental health and wellbeing, and widened its offer to include weekend and evening activities.

More information about visiting us is available on our accessibility page.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a referral?

No, we are a walk in service. You do not need a referral or an introduction letter. Just walk in.

Will I have to fill out paperwork when I arrive?

No, the first thing you’ll be asked is ‘Would you like a hot drink?’ (Your first one is free). There is no paperwork to complete.

Can anyone come to the Grapevine?

Anyone over the age of 18.

Do I need to live in the High Peak to come to the Centre?

No. It doesn’t matter where you live. If you are in Buxton and need a safe space to sit, you are welcome.

Do I have to pay?

All of our drop-in sessions and daytime groups are free. We do sell drinks, priced at £1 for tea, coffee, or hot chocolate. 75p if you bring your own travel mug.

All our Community Talks are free. These can all be booked through our Eventbrite page.

Our Evening and Weekend Grapevine have a charge, but every activity is subsidised between 50% and 90%.

Who can come to the community talks?

Everyone over 18 years old. Whether you are interested in the topic, have personal experience with it, or are a professional working in mental health or a related field, you are more than welcome.

We sometimes welcome children over 14 years old who wish to learn more about the topic, provided they are accompanied by an adult. If you would like to bring a 14-17-year-old to a talk, please email or call the centre so we can be aware of any needs.

Can I bring my dog/pet?

We can only allow working service dogs/pets into the Centre.

Do I need a diagnosis to attend?

No, if you feel your wellbeing is not where you want it to be, you are very welcome.

How long has the Grapevine been a charity?

We became a registered charity in 2003 and have had a centre in Buxton ever since.

We are situated in Buxton marketplace, at the back of the small car park, just to the right of Sainsbury’s. Our door is between Guthrie Accountancy Services and Jack’s the Barber.

If I work or have caring responsibilities, can I come to the Centre?

Our weekend and Evening Grapevine are run at times outside of normal working hours, specifically for anyone who can’t get to us in the daytime. As we can’t run as many out-of-hour sessions, we ringfence these for people who work or are of working age who have caring responsibilities.

Do I need to bring anything with me to the daytime groups?

No, just yourself, everything else is provided.
