Come Together Hub:

They are running a slimmed-down timetable over the Christmas period to give staff and volunteers some well earned rest  but they also know better than anyone that struggles don’t stop just because it’s Christmas.

They will still be running some sessions over Christmas and New Year and are also inviting the community to a Festive Walk on the 28th December, a chance to get some fresh air, connect with others, and find support during what is not always an easy time for everyone.

Please feel free to join any of the sessions or actives over the festive period
