Butterflies

Butterflies and Butterflies 16–19 are free fitness and wellbeing sessions for anyone who identifies as female, designed to promote positive mental health through movement, connection, and open discussion. We understand that reaching out for support can feel difficult, so we aim to remove as many barriers to attending as possible and provide a welcoming, inclusive environment. Each session begins with a warm welcome, followed by a warm-up and a 30-minute workout led by a qualified fitness instructor or personal trainer, tailored to individual fitness levels and personal goals. After the workout, participants are invited to join a relaxed wellbeing chat with like-minded people who can share advice, encouragement, and support through lived experience. There is also the option to join our WhatsApp group for additional support throughout the week. All of our facilitators and trainers are qualified in Mental Health First Aid and ASIST (Applied Suicide Intervention Skills Training), ensuring participants are supported in a safe, understanding, and compassionate environment.
