The Foyer

​

Connect Change Challenge is a new bi-weekly session for collaboration and innovation - these sessions will be all about stepping outside the box to have fun, gaining/improving teamwork skills, connecting with one another through a variety of thought provoking, fun, sometimes weird challenges and team-building exercises, its a space where everyone’s voice matters and every contribution helps us move forward.

Beyond the fun of the challenges, you’ll be an important part of helping shape and change SNG’s Foyer and the service customers receive - we will want to hear your thoughts, use your expertise, and learn from your unique experiences to make our service the best it can be, by getting involved, you’re helping us grow, and improve.

Come ready to have a bit of fun, share your ideas, connect with your peers, and help us turn challenges into real, positive change – together stronger, be the change!

Every Wednesday

Join us for Bid & Brunch, where you can enjoy bacon sandwiches and hot drinks in a relaxed, friendly setting.

Alongside brunch, we’ll offer helpful guidance on how to bid for homes using Homefinder.

Whether you’re completely new to the process or just want a refresher, we’ll walk you through how it works so you can feel more confident placing your next bid.

It’s a great chance to pick up useful information, ask questions, and connect with others.

📅 Tuesday 9 June | 5–6pm

We are running a dedicated Drug & Alcohol Information Session to provide a safe, relaxed space to learn, ask questions, and have open discussions.

This session will cover:

• ✅ The effects of different drugs and alcohol on physical and mental health
• ✅ Understanding habits, use, and how they can impact daily life
• ✅ How substance use can affect relationships, finances, and housing
• ✅ Ways to reduce harm and make safer choices
• ✅ Where to access support and advice if needed

The session is informal and non-judgemental, and there is no pressure to share personal experiences, participants can simply listen and learn at their own pace.

Whether someone is looking for information for themselves or just wants to better understand the topic, everyone is welcome.

📅 Wednesday 10 June

Join us for our Healthy Relationships Information Session, designed to help build a better understanding of what positive and respectful relationships look like.

This session will cover:

• ✅ What makes a relationship healthy and supportive
• ✅ How to recognise unhealthy or harmful behaviours

• ✅ Building confidence in your relationships with others

The session is informal, welcoming, and non-judgemental, giving you the chance to learn, reflect, and ask questions if you’d like.

It’s festival time! Whether you’re there for the music, the vibes, or the unforgettable moments, we want everyone to have an amazing experience at the Isle of Wight Festival.

💛 Stay safe in the sun:

• Apply sunscreen regularly (SPF 30+ is your best friend!)
• Wear a hat and sunglasses
• Keep hydrated — water stations are there for a reason
• Take breaks in the shade when you need them

🎵 Look after yourself and your mates so you can enjoy every beat from start to finish!

Let’s make it a weekend to remember — safely, responsibly, and full of great memories 🙌

Warmer weather, longer days… but remember, heat, alcohol and other substances don’t always mix.

If you choose to use, keep it safer:
💧 Stay hydrated
⏱️ Space it out
👀 Look out for your mates

Let’s make it a Foyer conversation, check in with each other about where you are, what you’ve taken, and how you’re feeling.

The Next Chapter Workshop is all about helping you prepare for moving into your new property. It focuses on building confidence, planning ahead, and getting ready for the responsibilities and opportunities that come with a new home.

If you’re using Homefinder, here’s how it works 👇
