For referrers and professionals
A gentle first step, not a crisis pathway.
Connection & Direction is a free weekly online reflective support group for adults in London who may be experiencing isolation, low confidence, lack of motivation, cultural disconnection, or uncertainty about their next step.
What the pilot offers
First online taster: Tuesday 2 June 2026, 7:00-8:00pm BST.
The group combines facilitated reflection, peer connection, and practical signposting. It aims to support confidence, wellbeing, social connection, and movement towards meaningful activity, volunteering, learning, work, relationships, or community involvement.
It is trauma-informed and psychologically informed, but it is not therapy, counselling, or crisis support. It is suitable for adults who can participate safely in a respectful online group.
May suit
- Adults 18+ in London who feel isolated, stuck, or low in confidence.
- People unsure about volunteering, learning, work readiness, relationships, or community involvement.
- People who can engage voluntarily and safely in an online group.
- People who may benefit from Polish or Romanian clarification around registration or access needs.
Not suitable as the main response
- Immediate risk, crisis, or urgent safeguarding needs.
- People needing clinical treatment, counselling, casework, advocacy, or regulated advice.
- People currently unable to participate safely in a respectful group setting.
- People seeking housing, immigration, legal, financial, or employment advice as the primary need.
Soft referral wording
I know of a free online group called Connection & Direction. It is a respectful space to talk, reflect, meet others, and identify one small next step. It is not therapy or crisis support, but it may be useful if you want more connection, confidence, or direction. Would you like the registration link?
Referral route
Preferred launch route: ask the person to complete the Google Registration Form themselves, or support them to complete it with consent. Referrers should not send sensitive personal details unless necessary and agreed.
