Groups for learning and support
Come along to our Men's group or fortnightly Tea and Talks, to learn from guest speakers and join others for afternoon tea. 'In Knit Together' provides an opportunity to chat and share an interest in crafts. We also run a fortnightly Tech-drop-in with Digits Charitable Trust.
