Community Centre
For the past 40 years, our church space has been transformed into a community centre each Friday. It’s a place where people can engage in activities & belong, regardless of their circumstances, religion, and abilities.
From 9am Fridays.
'Third Spaces' are so important in a world where loneliness is so common. We'd love to welcome you to join us! Meet a new friend or two, learn a skill... come pop in, we can't wait to meet you!
