The Buddy Beat
A mental health drumming group based in Johnstone for
anyone in Renfrewshire
We promote social inclusion and our group offers a safe place for people to
drum the blues away. Our group is open 50 weeks of the year on Thursdays,
10am - 12noon at our base in The Johnstone Hugh Parish Church Halls, just of
Ludovic Square. It gives people a focus, and a future and has led people into
other community groups, volunteering, education and employment.
We also have a monthly Open Night at The Charleston Centre in Paisley, 6pm to
7.45pm. It is free for anyone to come along and try our drums. No experience
is necessary. Check us out on Facebook at Renfrewshire’s The Buddy Beat or
