Brighter Living Partnership

The Brighter Living Partnership is a healthy living centre based in Southport, mainly covering the Southport and Formby areas of Merseyside; however we operate throughout the borough of Sefton on various projects. Fundamental to our success is the strong, dynamic partnerships we create and utilise between ourselves and other organisations.

Living Well Sefton

Brighter Living are a partner of Living Well Sefton and we offer a FREE service with a focus on supporting people with issues that may be affecting their health and wellbeing such as exercise, cooking and eating better, stopping smoking, coping better with stressful situations, help with debt and benefits, and more.

We also offer a number of courses and groups that can not only help with physical health but also socialising more and improving your mental health and wellbeing.

Brighter Monday's

Brighter Monday’s is a social activity club for older people aged 50+ who are at risk of loneliness or isolation. The club is designed to reduce social isolation.  Brighter Mondays is a 16 week programme and will cover different activities every week including:

  • Arts and Crafts such as origami, silk painting etc
  • Cookery/healthy eating sessions
  • Quizzes
  • Learning coping skills
  • Day trip out

Lunch Club

Brighter Living offer a weekly luncheon club to older people (aged 50+), especially those who are isolated or at risk of loneliness. For just £4 you get two courses, i.e. a main meal and a dessert with drinks included. The food we serve is prepared on site and is fresh and homemade! We often have some form of entertainment at the end of the meal too such as quizzes, speakers on various topics and information.

Film Club

Open to all, a weekly film club is held at the community centre showing a variety of classics and modern films to suit all types. We do not charge a fee to watch the film but donations towards refreshments are appreciated.

Films start at 2pm prompt but people usually arrive half an hour before to have a chat and a cup of tea. We are always looking for suggestions for films to show so please get in touch if you have any ideas! A monthly schedule of films is produced at the start of each month; please look back here for more information.

Community Café

On Tuesday mornings, we have a vibrant volunteer led community café serving tea/coffee for 50p and bacon sandwiches/cheese on toast for £1. The café gives the local residents the opportunity to meet in a warm and friendly environment without having to break the bank

Games Club

The Games Club is open to all members of the community in which people come together to play a variety of games such as dominoes, pool, cards and other board games. We have a large selection of items to choose from! This also runs alongside the Community Café where you can purchase food and drinks at very reasonable rates.

Men's Club

This group is open to all men from across the local community who wish to take part in a variety of activities such as gardening, physical activity, trips out and wood work amongst others. The group meets every Tuesday between 1pm and 3pm. We are looking for more men to join our growing group.
