❤️!! The Pottle Centre is a social and recreational centre for adult who live with mental health issues, illnesses and addictions. We are a drug and alcohol free, safe facility. Our members are generally supported by other services such as case manager, Nurse, Psychiatrist, Social Worker or a Psychologist and we become additional support to meet people where they are in their recovery journey. The Pottle Centre began operations in 1980 have had several locations beginning with Church Hill to where we are now, 805 Water Street. We also began as the Canadian Mental Health Association Social Centre and once funding changed hands, the name changed briefly to the UPP Centre (Understanding People's Problems) then to The Pottle Centre to honour one of the founders of the centre, Dr. Clarence Pottle. The Pottle Centre employs two staff and is governed by a Board of Directors who volunteer their time because they have a passion for Mental Health.

🎶☀️ Music @ Concert Series Fridays! ☀️🎶

One of our favourite summer traditions is attending the Music @ Concert Series hosted by the City of St. John's! Almost every Friday, our members head to Harbourside Park to enjoy free live performances by talented local musicians in a fun, welcoming atmosphere. The series celebrates a variety of musical styles and showcases both established artists and emerging local talent.

These weekly outings are a wonderful opportunity to get outdoors, connect with the community, enjoy great music, and spend quality time together. We look forward to these Fridays all summer long!

Thank you to the City of St. John's for providing such an amazing community event year after year.

Our members had a wonderful time attending the Lieutenant Governor's Annual Garden Party at Government House. This cherished community tradition brought people together for an afternoon of beautiful gardens, live entertainment, refreshments, and great conversation in a welcoming atmosphere. The annual event is free and open to the public, celebrating community, connection, and the rich traditions of Newfoundland and Labrador.

Thank you to Her Honour, the staff, volunteers, and everyone who helped make this special event such a memorable experience. We always appreciate opportunities to get out into the community, connect with others, and create meaningful memories with our members.
