• Barking Tales Open Mic!

    Our usual monthly mental health themed comedy show is going to be a little different this March. With more focus on the social side, and an open stage for YOU to try out performing anything you want. Try out your own little comedy set, tell us a story, read us a poem, sing us a song, (it doesn't have to be funny!) give us a presentation sharing all your best mental health tips and advice, give a talk on one of your specialist interest, just come and have fun. Explore the boundaries of your own comfort zones, No need to book, and no pressure. This is an acoustic venue with the friendliest audience you'll ever meet. We have a tuck shop selling snacks, hot and cold beverages, and it's a great night to meet new, likeminded, people.

    The Upstanding Citizens Bureau is a new creative mental health and wellbeing community group and venue located in Oldham, off Shaw Rd.

    The UCB provides a safe space for people to meet-up, spend time with likeminded folk, and work on projects together.

    The space can be used for counselling, running workshops and focus groups, fleeing turbulence, attending peer-support meet-ups, acessable events such as Barking Tales comedy night and other forms of entertainment peacefully and safely.
