A Social group has been set up in the Chichester area to provide a range of activities, visits and a chance to build new friendships.
The FABIS Social Group meets on the first Wednesday of every month, from 2 pm to 4 pm, offering a relaxed, supportive space for ABI survivors and their carers to spend time together, try new activities, and enjoy each other’s company.
We believe life after brain injury should include laughter, creativity, and connection. Our monthly meetups are all about shared experiences — not perfection or performance — just being together in a friendly, welcoming community.
Every session offers something new and uplifting. Activities include:
🧘♀️ Gentle Pilates – easy, guided movement to help with balance and relaxation.
🎨 Art and craft sessions – creative projects for all abilities.
🌿 Gardening – light activities that bring calm and connection.
🎳 Bowling and board games – friendly fun and laughter guaranteed.
🍹 Non-alcoholic cocktail making – mix, shake, and enjoy!
💬 Talks from supporting agencies – practical advice and local resources.
🍽️ Shared dining and visits – exploring local places of interest and enjoying meals together.
Each month’s theme or activity is announced in advance on our Events page.
The Social Group is open to:
ABI survivors (adults living with Acquired Brain Injury)
Carers and family members
Volunteers and supporters who help make these afternoons special
Whether you come along once or every month, you’ll always find kind faces, good conversation, and a sense of belonging.
