Our Community Groups
Explore a wide range community groups open to all ages and backgrounds.
Our groups run on funding, grants and donations. Some run by staff members and some by our wonderful volunteers.
Some groups may charge a small fee, all of which goes back into the Centre and its groups.
Donations when attending welcome.

We all have times when it helps to be with people who actually know how we feel. Once a month on the first Thursday - a group of people get together for a cuppa, cake and a chat. Everyone who comes to the Bereavement Support Group knows the pain of loss.
We don't have a programme, we are not counsellors and we would not dream of believing that we can make the pain go away. What we can do is provide a safe space where bereaved folk can share their feelings and support and encourage each other.
When: First Thursday of the month, 2.30pm - 4.00pm
