No, we will have the building all to ourselves between 6:00pm and 8:00pm, so it's only us quieteers there. 

The Camborne Meet Ups are led by the team, pictured above, who will be there to greet you.

No, all of our Meet Ups are free to attend. We’re a Community Interest Company so funding comes from The National Lottery Community Fund. All refreshments including water, teas, coffees, hot chocolate and biscuits are provided free of charge too - although you’re very welcome to bring along your own drink if you prefer, or additional treats to share with the group. 

You don’t have to book - it’s ok to just turn up on the day. However, on the first time that you’re joining us, if you know in advance that you’re going to come along, it would be really helpful if you could sign up using our booking form above. This means we can say hi and answer any of your questions before you come along, we can easily contact you if there are any changes to the schedule, and we can get feedback from you now and again to help us improve.

The Camborne Meet Up is brand new, but our other Meet Ups have groups that range from between 4 - 12 people.

The space we've chosen is a cosy and welcoming space, where we aim to create an ambience that feels both calm and re-energising. We’ll often have uplifting or relaxing music playing quietly in the background. Our facilitators focus on nurturing conversations and participation that has a collective positive upwards spiral e.g. gratitude, small comfort zone stretch wins, things that bring us joy, what we’re learning etc. And there is usually a gentle mix of chatter and quieter moments.

There is level access and accessible toilet facilities at CREATE.

We really do remove the pressure - because we’ve been there too. As quiet facilitators, we like to think that we’ve found a good balance between being attentive to the group and giving you your own space. If we sense you’re in any difficulty, we will gently make sure that you’re okay. But otherwise we will allow you to join in as much or as little as you like. 

Yes. We’ll always encourage you to give yourself what you need. If at any point you feel you need to step away, you are welcome to go and make yourself a cuppa or leave for a break before re-joining the group. Our facilitators will be mindful to offer that space and a check-in chat, if needed. 

All sorts! We bring along materials for optional casual activities that’ll spark creativity, start conversations and boost your wellbeing. This might be colouring, painting, crocheting, journaling and more. 

Absolutely. We recognise this might be helpful as you’re settling in and getting to know the other group members.

Yes, we’d be happy to help with that. Just send us a message at meetups@quietconnections.co.uk and we’ll arrange this for you. 

You’re welcome to try Meet Ups in multiple locations. There’s no obligation to always go to the same one, but you’re more likely to make friends and genuine connections if you go to the same Meet Up more than once. 

Whilst many do choose to attend weekly, we also have valuable members within the community who only attend as and when they can.

It’s two hours in length (every Tuesday from 6:00pm to 8:00pm).

We’ve included parking instructions above but feel free to email us at meetups@quietconnections.co.uk if you’d like some more detailed information on this.

We’ve included travel and public transport information above, but please email us at meetups@quietconnections.co.uk if you’d like some more detailed information about how to get here.

We’re always pleased to hear from lovely volunteers in our local community. If you think you might like to help us run a Meet Up or get involved with Quiet Connections in another way, please contact us at hello@quietconnections.co.uk and we’ll be in touch.
