ABOUT US

---

At Grow and Glow, we are committed to breaking the stigma surrounding women’s mental health. We provide a safe, welcoming, and judgment-free space where women can come together, share their journeys, and support one another. Through our free, weekly peer support groups for women aged 18 and over, we help create a community where every woman can Grow stronger and Glow brighter.

#GlowTogether is our promise to every woman who joins us. No matter where you are on your journey, we’re here to remind you that you don’t have to face it alone. As we expand and grow, our mission remains simple: to create a space where women can connect, support one another, and move forward together.

WE’RE A GROUP OF WOMEN SHARING STORIES OVER TEA, BISCUITS, AND CONNECTION.

In May 2024, Grow and Glow began with a simple vision: to create a safe space for women in Epsom to connect and share their experiences. Founded by Charley, a full-time firefighter who is deeply passionate about mental health advocacy, Grow and Glow was created to address the lack of female-only support groups in the community.

What started with just a handful of women in Epsom has grown into a movement, with groups now meeting in Guildford, Reigate, and beyond. At Grow and Glow, we believe in the power of shared stories. By coming together in a supportive and non-clinical environment, we create a sense of belonging that helps every woman move forward with strength and confidence.

No referral. No cost. Just connection.

Our groups meet weekly in a warm, welcoming environment where women sit together in a circle to share and listen. To help us prepare and ensure a comfortable space for everyone, we kindly ask you to RSVP via email before attending (info@growandglow.org.uk)

During each session:

Each member shares a thorn (a challenge or worry) and specifies whether they’d like advice, validation, or simply acknowledgment.

Each member follows with a rose (a positive moment or something they’re looking forward to).

Once everyone has shared their rose and thorn, we like to finish with a light-hearted question or activity, encouraging laughter and leaving everyone with a positive note to take home. This ensures we end each session feeling uplifted and connected as a group.

Of course, the tea, coffee, and biscuits are always free!

Whether you’re navigating tough times, looking for support, or just want to connect with other women, we’d love to welcome you to one of our groups. We currently run sessions in Epsom, Guildford, and Reigate, with more locations to come. RSVP to info@growandglow.org.uk

Want to help others? We’re always looking for passionate volunteers to join our amazing team of facilitators.

Let’s Grow and Glow, together.
