Local Groups in Uckfield

Sometimes a local group is all you need to seek advice, meet new faces, learn a new skill, or simply join in with your community for a sense of belonging.

Our Never Alone programme is designed to provide support for loneliness and other emotional and practical needs plus promote general wellbeing. We have recommendations to local groups who may be able to help you. Finding the right one that meets your needs or interests can be very fulfilling and truly boost your mood.

Uckfield Art Group

We are an informal group of around 25 regular members who meet regularly to enjoy and develop our art. There are members from all abilities and ages. We celebrate successes and although we have no formal tutor we use the expertise within the group to help those who need advice or encouragement. The group meets every Tuesday from 7-9pm in Uckfield's Luxford Centre, at the top of the Luxford Carpark, just off Uckfield High Street. Members bring their own supplies and work on their own painting and drawing projects in the convivial and supportive atmosphere.

We run painting workshops at the Highlands Inn in Uckfield every last Monday of the month. We are also at Grounded at The Forge and the Anchor Inn in Ringmer.
