Free online pilot for adults in London

Feeling stuck or disconnected?

Connection, reflection and manageable steps into the new year.

We are bringing together a small group of adults in London or with a London connection for a free online start in January 2027. There will be space to hear from others and think about what matters to you. You do not need a finished plan or a New Year’s resolution.

January 2027: dates and frequency confirmed before places are allocated. Rolling drop-in sessions are paused. Expressing interest does not confirm a place; see the January joining arrangements.

What this is

A space to connect, reflect and explore a small next step.

Connection & Direction is a free facilitated online group for adults 18+ in London or with a London connection. We aim to begin in January when a suitable, reachable starting group is ready.

It is for people who may feel isolated, low in confidence, culturally disconnected, unsure about work or volunteering, or unclear about what could help next.

How it works

Listen → Reflect → Connect → Act

Listen

A respectful space where you can speak honestly about what is happening, without pressure to share more than feels right.

Reflect

Facilitators and peers help notice themes, hopes, barriers, confidence, relationships, belonging, and possible next steps.

Connect

The group offers contact, encouragement, cultural understanding, and signposting where another support route may help.

Act

You can choose a manageable step towards wellbeing, learning, volunteering, relationships or community life. You can adapt it, pause it or pass.

What happens

A one-hour facilitated online group.

  • Welcome and clear group boundaries.
  • Short grounding and check-in.
  • Shared reflection around one theme.
  • Time to hear from others and respond respectfully.
  • An invitation to choose a small next step, with no pressure to commit.

What it is not

  • Not therapy, counselling, or clinical treatment.
  • Not crisis support or an emergency service.
  • Not coaching, a productivity programme or a guaranteed employment route.
  • Not legal, housing, financial, or immigration advice.
  • Not a religious group.

Safety

Respectful boundaries are part of the offer.

January interest is separate from a confirmed session place. We review registrations and later reconfirm exact dates before allocating places and sending private Google Meet links. Sessions are not recorded. Webcams are required unless a participant gives a valid reason, reviewed by facilitators. Participants agree to respect privacy, avoid pressure or advice-giving, and follow facilitator guidance.

If you are in immediate danger or need urgent crisis support, this group is not the right support. Please use emergency or crisis services.

Languages

Mainly in English, with Polish and Romanian clarification where possible.

The group is open to adults 18+ in London or with a London connection. Polish and Romanian support may be available for registration, clarification, and access needs where possible. The first pilot does not promise full live translation.

Facilitators

Grounded in community support practice.

The pilot is led by founders with experience across homelessness support, vulnerable-adult services, third-sector work, community support, reflective practice, and management.

Interested in the January group?

We are aiming for 10-15 completed January-interest registrations to form a suitable, reachable starting group. Actual sessions are ideally 4-8 people, capped at 10. Registration is not a place offer. Already registered? Email us about January rather than completing the form again.
