Alongside our weekly café sessions, we organise special activities, outings and celebrations. Here’s what’s coming up:

Our annual festive get-together! Join us at Venue16 for a delicious Christmas meal, good company, and plenty of festive cheer. A highlight of the year and always a lovely way to celebrate the season together.
