The Crossroads Day Club aims to combat isolation and help to improve the health and wellbeing of those with care needs and their family carers in Sandwell and surrounding areas. The Day Club takes please on the first Wednesday of every month,10am – 3pm, at The Oak Tree Centre, Tame Road, Oldbury, B68 0JP.

We offer a welcoming, safe and secure place for adults with care needs (including dementia) to enjoy a change of scenery, do a variety of activities, enjoy a hot meal and socialise. The club is also an opportunity for family carers to have some much-needed respite, although they are welcome to attend too if they prefer.

We encourage independence, but a skilled team of Crossroads Care Support Workers are on hand to assist. Please visit our website for booking details and price.

Wysa is an AI chatbot that has been commissioned by Black Country NHS Foundation Trust to
give secondary school aged people an anonymous, safe, non-judgmental space where you can
talk about anything and everything that's bothering you. Let off steam and share your worries -
Wysa is here to listen.
Wysa is not a social media platform and users cannot message each other. No one will see what
you share with Wysa, and it’s completely anonymous. No email or sign-up is required within the
app.
Every response Wysa gives is written by a qualified therapist, so you’re getting the best advice
and support. Wysa will listen to how you’re feeling, then guide you through a therapy exercise
that can help you feel better.
If you need emergency help, hit the SOS button to find the right helplines at your fingertips, and
do a grounding exercise to put yourself back in control.

The SHIP programme aims to address the health inequalities affecting adult residents of
Sandwell. The three-year programme is funded by Sandwell Council Public Health and has ten
delivery partners, who provide activities and interventions with residents across the diverse
communities of Sandwell. The SHIP programme has two work streams, one is mental health,
and the other is preventing and managing long term health conditions. SHIP is delivered as a
‘hub and spoke’ model with Sandwell Consortium CIC coordinating the programme with
activities and interventions delivered across the borough in local community centres and
community projects.

This project aims to engage with men aged 18+ living in Sandwell in a 5aside Football League,
which will consist of weekly tournament style matches on Monday evening at Portway Lifestyle
Centre. The project aims to improve men's Health and Wellbeing. Alongside the session, men
can expect informal workshops and activities that will share information around other services
that can support better mental health. A Wellbeing Café will be available for all signed up to
provide support and opportunity to socialise and open up dialogue with our participants and
staff.
