Important Information
Our office at the Stables is currently closed to the public due to Covid-19, you may only access the building if you have an appointment booked in advance. Unfortunately, at the moment our usual groups and events are cancelled in person. However, we are in regular contact with community members who would usually attend these groups, we have moved some of our groups online and are also working with other local organisations to see what support we can offer people during these difficult times.
Below is a list of groups we would usually have on offer and we hope to restart these groups again in future when Government Guidelines allow.
