Welcome to Square Pegs Charity Gosport

Yes you, the one that screams to be seen as an individual, & still be accepted in our modern society. At Square Pegs we promote community, & know we don't all need to fit neatly into a category, and want all of our members to know they don’t need be any kind of 'NorMal' to be accepted here!

At Square Pegs, we believe that we should all be able to choose to live, love and learn creatively and with a balance in your life that creates a sense of calm to still our busy minds & our drained bodies.
If we don't do this, our energy and self-esteem are harmed as a result, which can lead to a sense of anxiety, depression & poor mental health, which can then affect our whole sense of overall well-being. Square Pegs aim to combat this by facilitating various creativity and well-being clubs, workshops and community events, which encourage inclusiveness and a sense of fun into the lives of our community!

Dare to be different in a world of sameness!

We are proud to be inclusive...
We welcome volunteers from the whole community - this also includes carers & parents who are welcome to join in with our activities too!
Our volunteer team is increasing and has become incredibly strong.
This initiative was a community project for four years and only in March 2016 it become a charity in its own right, & yet the comments, recommendations & feedback we continue to receive genuinely amazes and astounds us.

People want to communicate, create & feel accepted - it is vital to building a strong community. Our members love to build new relationships with others, people they have never met before.

Our volunteers are re-finding themselves, establishing a new purpose, and in some cases find that they are much stronger than they were before. The Square Pegs team can also be found supporting local community events, dressing up, crafting, or generally giggling with our friends & associates. After all, FUN is key to a good life!

Who are we?

"I describe being a Square Peg, forced to live in the Round Hole of societies expectations as a teenager, as my personality & my self esteem being chipped away at until I felt like an empty shell" - Charlie Reilly, 2015.

It is this feeling of isolation and worthlessness that we at Square Pegs wish to abolish. We want to celebrate our quirky side, our uniqueness, our individuality and we want to be able to encourage others who may have similar feelings to find the tools which can help them do the same.

Mind, Body & Soul

I believe wholeheartedly that we are all individual personalities within society. We are built up of a complex structure, the physical body, with it’s skin, bone & organs, the mind and its logical or illogical workings, it’s neurotypical or ‘abnormal’ tendencies, and finally the soul, the little piece of something, the in-explainable, some say your inner I, others your moral compass, most agree it is an area that needs nurturing, just as the body and mind do.

The mind, body and soul is the fabric of who we are! Sprinkled with the influences of our environment, what we currently learn, our previous experience and knowledge and what has taken place in our past, we form a whole. Fundamentally or simply put, we are all very different.

We grow differently, we understand differently, we form relationships and learn differently. Therefore a set upbringing or a rigid education may not suit us all, just as a 9 - 5 job does not. Those who acknowledge this, we define as the Square Pegs, and the Square Peg often wishes the escape the confines of what is considered ‘normal’ that Round Hole-ness!
