Prioritise Your Mental Health with Free Somatic Therapy at Porchester Centre

As Mental Health Awareness Week comes to an end, we’re reminding everyone that mental health matters all year round — it’s just as important as physical health.

That’s why, as part of the Neighbourhood Sports Club (NSC) Programme, we’re offering weekly somatic therapy sessions for women and girls at the Porchester Centre, every Wednesday from 13:30pm – 15:00pm. The session are funded by the Healthy Communities Fund, (Part of the City of Westminster’s Public Health Fund) through summer until 2026.

Delivered by Hurdles2Hoops (a non-profit supporting asylum seekers and refugees), these inclusive sessions are designed to empower women, reduce isolation, and support mental health through movement and connection. 

What is Somatic Therapy?

A body-based approach to mental wellbeing, somatic therapy uses movement and awareness to release tension, support your nervous system, and restore emotional balance.

These sessions are a blend of breathwork, somatic movement, and Qigong to help you:

  • Release stress and tension
  • Connect mind and body
  • Feel grounded and calm
  • Rebuild resilience

Take a step towards better wellbeing — join us and reconnect with your body and mind.

One week, three ways to feel better – All we are missing is YOU!

From Monday 12th May to Sunday 18th May, we’re proud to support Mental Health Awareness Week – led by the Mental Health Foundation – the UK’s leading charity for mental health. 

This year’s theme is “Community” — highlighting how our relationships and sense of connection to others are vital to our mental well-being. Being part of a community helps us feel supported, valued, and less alone.

What’s on: Free activities across Westminster

At ActiveWestminster, we believe in the power of community to change lives. That’s why, with the support of our leisure partner Everyone Active, we’re running free, inclusive and community-focused wellness activities across Westminster — to help bring people together, move, share, and connect:

  • Mindfulness Painting: A relaxed, creative space to connect with others and take a mindful moment for yourself. No experience needed — just bring yourself and a willingness to unwind.
    Jubilee Community Leisure Centre
  • Badminton & Table Tennis Taster Sessions: Delivered by our friends at Sport in Mind, these fun sessions are a great way to meet new people, move your body, and enjoy a bit of friendly competition.
    Church Street Leisure Centre
  • Yoga Sessions: Gentle, welcoming sessions to help you breathe, stretch, and share a calming moment in a shared space.
    Everyone Active Centres across Westminster
