The Dragon Café Ethos
The Dragon Café is the flagship project of Mental Fight Club.
Mental Fight Club is a creative group which arose out of the experience of severe mental illness and recovery of Sarah Wheeler, MFC’s founder. In 2003, Sarah ran a series of group readings of the epic poem Mental Fight by Ben Okri – people liked them, word got out and Mental Fight Club was born.

Mental Fight Club’s aim is to be an open, welcoming group which puts on exciting, well-organised and inspirational creative events and projects. Most of our part-time paid workers and volunteers have experience of mental illness, mainly by direct personal experience but also as friends, family and carers of those with mental ill-health. We work hard to develop ways of working together that help us all with our on-going recovery and self-awareness and equip us with new skills and experience.
The Dragon Café is the embodiment of Mental Fight Club’s ethos.
