Drop In Social Sessions
Looking for relaxed and welcoming drop in social sessions in Clacton or across Tendring? At Tendring Time Bank, we offer free, friendly, and inclusive social gatherings where everyone is welcome—no booking required. Whether you’re feeling lonely, new to the area, or just want a cuppa and a chat, our sessions are the perfect place to connect.
Our drop in social sessions are open to all ages and abilities, offering a safe, pressure-free space to meet new people, enjoy light conversation, and take part in simple activities like board games, cards, arts and crafts, or just relaxing with tea and biscuits. These informal gatherings are ideal for anyone looking for local community meetups, low-key social events, or wellbeing activities in Tendring.
If you’ve been searching for “social groups near me,” “inclusive community sessions in Clacton,” or “drop-in events for wellbeing,” our drop in social sessions are a great way to improve mental health, combat loneliness, and feel part of something positive.
Many of our attendees are referred by local organisations such as Mind or GP surgeries, especially those managing social anxiety, low mood, or isolation. We offer a kind, supportive environment with no judgement and no pressure to engage more than you’re comfortable with.
Our sessions are supported by the Time Bank system, where your time is valued as a community contribution. You can earn Time Credits by helping others or supporting events, and use them to receive help in return.
In addition to our social drop-ins, Tendring Time Bank also provides help with benefits advice, job applications, CV support, and digital access—so you can combine social connection with practical support all in one place.
