Join a group of like-minded locals, to make new connections and build new friendships.

The Safer Chelmsford Partnership created On Your Team to bring together local residents who are looking for a new outlet or hobby.

These sessions help people build connections in a relaxed environment with no pressure, and are designed for people who could benefit from emotional support and advice.

Members are encouraged to both ask for and offer support to their new teammates. This isn’t a therapy session or a drop-in centre. It’s an opportunity to build connections and create a support system of your own, all while playing a bit of footy or trying a new activity.

Sessions vary, but we do ask that you commit to a complete ‘season’ when you sign up, to give everyone involved the best chance of making lasting connections. 

The scheme is open to anyone over 18. On Your Team runs two programmes concurrently, with one group for men and another for women. This is not intended to alienate anyone. If these categories don't quite fit for you, and you want to discuss which group to attend, let us know and we will work with you to decide on the best fit.
