Fighting Loneliness, Promoting Positive Mental Health

We are Nottingham's only youth organisation dedicated to reducing loneliness and promoting positive mental health among people aged 16-35.

Run by Nottingham locals who have had personal experience with loneliness and isolation, we are passionate about providing safe and welcoming spaces to all young people, regardless of background or circumstance.

Founded in 2019 to combat the growing problem of youth loneliness, the charity has grown over five years to meet the need for timely, relevant and accessible support for young people in the city and county.

What People Say

The arts and crafts sessions are my favourite. It's such a nice environment to take part in creating something without the pressure of what it looks like or how it turns out. It's nice to be able to take the time to sit and make something, I wish I could do this more often, because the process is so relaxing.
Support User, The Wolfpack Project
This is a kind and mindful group of people, and the weekly sessions are a really good way to meet lots of new people with different backgrounds and cultures. I've grown up in Nottingham, so it's especially nice to meet new people who aren't necessarily from the area and can learn a lot from them. I highly recommend it.
Having socials in Beeston is a lot easier for me to get to so it's nice to be able to pop down in this area rather than just the city centre. I've only been to the Wolfpack groups a couple times, but I made a friend already in the first group I went to.
