Reasons To Be Grateful

There’s no denying how tough this current situation is for many people and for so many differing reasons. Each person going through it at the same time and riding the waves of emotion it brings. The uncertainty, the worry, the frustration, and the overwhelming sadness.

Doodle Club

Doodle Club is a fun little world, tucked away on the top floor of The Wave Maiden, where a small society of good-natured people are unified by the lure of low-pressure creativity. Attending can feel like stumbling upon some kind of lovely secret: one where you find yourself surrounded by friendly people, zero judgement, and a significant amount of felt-tip pens.

The Collective SC

Networking. A word that you either love or hate. Gone are the days of standing in the corner with a name badge, wondering if it was worth your while to…

Package Free larder

“We need to respect the oceans as if our lives depended on it. Because they do.” Sylvia Earle We are drowning in plastic – and as much as it is quite a daunting claim to start with, it’s important to realise we need to act on it and we need to act now.

Floramora Art

Carrie Swinburne is the latest artist to feature on the cover of Southsea Folk. When I saw her collage called 'Southsea Folk' which has a huge part of Albert Road or "The" Albert Road as Carrie likes to call it, I just knew I wanted it to have pride of place in the magazine. So much vibrancy and colour, it really lifts your heart and you can't look at the front cover and not smile whilst thinking of all the fantastic independents we have along that one stretch of road.

The Front Room

Poetry is often seen as something abstract, something you have to be smart enough to ‘get’. And that just isn’t true. As a form of art it deserves recognition of the beauty, rhythm and passion carried in the words; essentially a song with no music. Here in Southsea we’re lucky to have people from The Front Room that bring art to us on a regular basis, making magic happen in the cosy and relaxed atmosphere of Albert Road’s coffee shops.

Tai Chi Calm

Hailing from 13th century China, the martial art of Tai Chi is a beautiful, almost hypnotic practice & one of the most effective exercises for health of mind & body. Although this art has great depth of skill & knowledge, with the right teacher the sequence of slow, fluid movements & breathing techniques is easy to learn & delivers many health benefits.

Community Cupboard

The recently launched Community Cupboard on Albert Road is a true example of Southsea’s warm heart. Designed as an opportunity for people to donate what they can and take what they need, the wardrobe will become a place to focus on community spirit and benefit those needing help– especially with the winter months coming.
